What is the difference between the SkyCaddie and cart-based GPS systems?
Cart-based systems typically have more features related to golf course services and only work on the course where they are installed. Since only a small percentage of courses can afford such systems, the SkyCaddie was developed as a highly portable personal device for the golfer instead of the golf course. At only 5 ounces or less, the SkyCaddie allows every golfer the benefits of GPS on any course in the world. Even on a course with a card based system installed, the SkyCaddie can be very helpful when the carts are not allowed off the designated path.
