TheSGX is capable of storingandusing two typesofprofessionally-mapped courses: 1) Basic Green coursemaps (also referred to as“preloadedcourses”)and2)AdvancedFeaturecoursemaps.

Note Preloaded course maps will ONLY

show the distances to the front, center, and back of the green. If

you wish to see other targets on the hole, or some of the other views as shown on the SGX packaging, you

will need to use an Advanced Feature course map, available through a SGX

Membership.

Basic Green DistancesThe front, center and back of the green for the hole you are playing

show distance calculations based on a line of approach from the center of

the fairway. Basic Green distances do not adjust based on a different angle

of approach. This is different from IntelliGreen, which rotates the green and recalculates distances from your

angle of approach.

IMPORTANT!When your SGX is in the process of

syncing with CaddieSync, please DO NOT remove the cable or interrupt

the syncing process. Syncing typically takes less than a minute.

Did You Know?You do not have to have your SGX with you to access the course list in CaddieSync. You can manually

enter in your SkyGolf.com login and manage your Favorites list prior to

downloading them to your SGX.

NoteIf you are syncing up to 50 Advanced Feature SkyCourses to your SGX — or

if there is a new software update — please expect the download and

installation process to take a few minutes, as there will be a lot of data

being transferred to your SGX.

Feature AvailabilityIntelliGreen Pro and HoleVue started

being added to SkyCaddie’s course database in 2009, so availability of

these features may be limited in your area initially, but those quantities

will grow rapidly as the hole images are corrected and rectified through

our mapping process. While this process is tedious and may

delay release of HoleVue in mass quantities, the reliability factor is

overriding our temptation to provide images with less reliability.

Did You Know?A Demo Course has also been

preloaded on the SGX to allow you to view some of the functionality of the SGX through a simulation. If no

courses are installed on your SGX, it will open the “Demo Course”. If only

one course is loaded, the SGX will ask if you want to play that course.

Note After the complimentary 30-day

Course Preload trial period is over, you will only see courses for the region your Membership plan

covers. If you sign up for a SGX Membership before the 30 day trial is over, you will still have access to

all of the preloaded courses.
