Features
SkyGolf’s ground mapping team verified and error-corrected more than 35,000 golf courses that come preloaded on the SkyCaddie SX550 golf GPS. These teams walk every course instead of relying on outdated satellite imagery so you get the best view of the actual terrain you are playing on. HoleVue technology with integrated targets allows you to see critical distances to all hazards, carries, and layups for up to 40 targets per hole. You can plan for every shot with the distance to every target you need, not just the distance to the front, back, and center of the green.
Their patented IntelliGreen Technology shows you the exact shape of the green and automatically rotates to match your angle of approach. This provides you with the most accurate view of the green from where you are playing your next shot, giving you the best chance to turn every putt or chip into a makeable one.
Much like the IntelliGreen feature, Dynamic HoleVue technology rotates the fairway and orients the green from your current position and angle of attack. Now you can see everything between you and the green and instantly get the distances you need to avoid hazards and play your best golf. You can even use the IntelliPath feature to tap on your target and see all the relevant distances along your target line.
SkyCaddie’s unique Dynamic RangeVue shows you yardage arcs overlaid on the fairway to help make club selection easier. You can even customize RangeVue by entering your club yardages. Then as you play, you will see your club range next to the RangeVue ring on every part of the course for much-improved shot-making to fairways, layups, and greens.
In addition to their signature high-tech features, the SkyCaddie SX550 also keeps track of your score, including for multiple scoring systems, measures the distance of your shots, tracks statistics like total puts and fairways hit, and more. You can even quickly and easily download course updates over Wi-Fit so there are no cords needed.
