Subject: Which SG GPS unit?
|
Ok, I'm convinced that this is the best and most valuable product on the
ket to improve my golf game (other than lessons and who wants to take
those?). I would like some input as to the SG2 verses the SG3. Just
interested in the real use of these units-I know the SG3 has a larger screen
but what about everyday use?

I know this is off topic, but I use IGolfScorer on my Nokia N70 with a BT
GPS unit, find this OK,

I guess one of the major criteria I was interested in was the viewing area.
It appears that you can see more 'stuff' on the SG3 and SG4. Is that
correct??

If displaying the center of the green twice on the same screen is more stuff
then the SG3 and SG4 do have more stuff. Since they use the same course
maps, only the presentations differ. The SG2 has two displays for center of
the green only or front, center, back of the green. The SG3 and SG4 has an
option to put both on the same screen at the same time.

The are 4 different units.
SG1 - rechargeable - center of the green only - Sky Caddie list $230
SG2 - rechargeable - full course mapping - $280
SG3 - 2 AA batteries - full course mapping - slight smaller and slimmer than
the SG1 and SG2 - $299
SG4 - rechargeable - full course mapping - slight smaller and slimmer than
the SG1 and SG2 - $350
Since they use the same course maps, the biggest SG2/SG3 difference is
batteries vs. rechargeable. If you are playing the same course most of the
time, the SG3 is simpler to use since you don't have to remember to recharge
it just pack some extra batteries in the bag. If you are constantly
reloading courses - the Sky Caddie only holds ten at a time - then it comes
into the house be reloaded anyway.
We compared an SG2 and SG4 side by side and they display the same
information. The yardages never varied more than a yard or two which is the
WAAS standard. The SG4 responded faster in the moving cart, but once the
cart stopped the SG2 caught up immediately.
If you play the same course or courses that you know well enough to hit
drives and second shots on 5s and are only interested in distances to the
green, then look around on the internet or ebay for a cheaper SG1.

The SAG is also water resistant - the SAG needs a Ziploc or other protection
from water.
The AA' vs. rechargeable is a toss up.
And the SG3 is taller and thicker than the SG2 - not smaller and slimmer.

SAG?
Batteries vs. rechargeable is not a toss-up. One must remember to recharge
the rechargeable vs. throwing extra batteries in the golf bag.

By toss up, I mean matter of preference. I travel, I download different
courses while on the road, so I have the charge/download cable with me
anyway.

Somehow I remember to recharge my cell phone, iPod, camera, etc. I'd just
as soon not have to purchase batteries. That was my main reason for not
buying the SG3. As you say, not a toss-up.

Oops, my bad..... "SAG" should be "SG3", in above post.
