Customizing Your SkyCaddie For Play

Your SkyCaddie can be customized to fit your style of play and to display information in the format you prefer.

3.1 Preferences

To customize the information to be displayed during play, press the Menu button, scroll to “Preferences” and press the Left Soft Key under “Select”. Within Preferences, a list of settings is displayed as follows:

Distance: You can set your preferred unit of distance as (“Yds” = Yards, “M” = Meters, “mi” = Miles, “K” = kilometers) by selecting “Distance”, then choosing the unit of measurement you prefer. A checkmark will be placed next to the item you have chosen (Fig. 26).

Target Views: Set the desired target views as detailed in Section 2.4.2.

Auto Hole: If enabled, your SkyCaddie will automatically detect that you are moving toward the next hole and will automatically advance to that hole. To enable, scroll to “Auto Hole” and select. Press the Scroll Pad to move either UP or DOWN to highlight ON or OFF and select (Fig. 27). Upon returning to the Preferences screen, confirm that your selection appears in the box next to “Auto Hole”.

As noted in a previous section, target lists will automatically scroll off the bottom of the display as you move forward along the fairway without the need of using the Scroll Pad. In addition, the target list will switch to the IntelliGreen view automatically as you approach the green. By combining the ability to auto scroll targets and automatically advancing to the next hole, your SkyCaddie gives you hands-free operation.

Center Only: If you prefer that the SkyCaddie only display the distance to the center, enable “Center Only” (For more information see Section 2.4.3).

Theme: Further personalize the look of the SkyCaddie software by choosing one of several user-selectable themes. Within Preferences,

 

scroll to and select “Theme”. Then scroll to and select the desired
