1 out of 5 stars SGX issues...   August 30, 2010
Chrisr
I bought the SGX yesterday and charged it for 3 hours before going to play. I went out without "sync"ing the unit and on the third hole, it stopped working.....would not recognize the satellites. I "synched" the unit and then tried resetting the GPS and still nothing. I called tech support who confirmed the unit "went bad". So $400 for the unit, another $50 for a membership and I'm stuck with a paperweight. I returned the unit and got a refund back on my subscription... Let someone else work out the kinks...

Purchased this item in July 2010 after I had heard all the plus/negative about the new unit. My son had an older unit that we enjoyed together. I had no problem downloading or registering my product but then I am only running Windows XP. I use it not only on the course for yardage measurements but also to keep score and track my shots (number of putts per round, driving distance etc.) and then upload them to my account so I can see where I need work on my game. Just like anything else it is only as good as you want it to be or the time that you are willing to take using the features it has. Also really like the way the "track button" works to move the cursor on the screen. Would I recommend it - yes.

Recieved my Skycaddie SGX in the mail yesterday. Read the instructions and had no problems at all with activating, syncing, downloading courses etc. Any updates to the SGX software automaticly get uploaded when you plug it into the computer. Very happy with my purchase. Would recommend this item to anyone who wants to improve thier game.

Hidden Shipping Charges - $200
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Purchased SGX. Unit locked up during activation. Called service center from overseas and placed on hold for 1-hour. Additional 30-minutes of troubleshooting with final resolution to replace unit. 4-weeks later - still no replacement. Finally, replacement was shipped but missing AC adaptor plug and I was expected to pay shipping of $200+ - added to the international phone bill - I could have purchased two devices.

Love my older model - but have never received such poor service re: any purchase in my life. The company knew it was selling a faulty device - had software patch download on net - had special number to call for SGX issues - but still sold it and still charged me $200 + in shipping fees to replace their issue.

What a rip off...
