SkyCaddie®: #1 Rangefinder in Golf

 

2.4.1 IntelliGreen®

An IntelliGreen is a graphic of the shape of the green (Fig. 9). In IntelliGreen view, the green will have an arrow drawn through it representing a direct line-of-play from where you are on the course. The view of the IntelliGreen will rotate on the screen to show the green from the direction of your approach (i.e. the closest part of the green will always display at the bottom).

The three numbers along the left side of the display are distances to the

 

front, a point on the green (represented by a crosshair), and back of the

 

green along the line drawn. To switch between these distances, simply

 

choose “Select” using the Left Soft Key. Use the Scroll Pad to reposition

 

the line-of-play (crosshair) by holding down the Scroll Pad in the desired

 

direction and release. The distances will recalculate automatically based

 

on the new position of the line.

While in the IntelliGreen view, select “Target” with the Right Soft Key to

view target lists. To return to the IntelliGreen view, select “iGreen” using the Right Soft Key.

2.4.2 Target Views

Your SkyCaddie can display four different target views depending on your preference. By default, two views will be active (Graphical and Expanded View). You may choose any combination of four target views within the “Preferences” menu. To access “Preferences”, press the Menu button and scroll to “Preferences” and select. Within “Preferences”, scroll to “Target Views” and select. The SkyCaddie will display four target view options. Select the desired target views to display (a checkmark will appear next to each selected target view).

The SkyCaddie will display “View” and “iGreen” at the bottom of each target view screen. “View” (Left Soft Key) switches to the next enabled target view screen. To quickly return to the IntelliGreen view from any of the four target view options, simply select “iGreen” using the Right Soft Key. Upon returning to the IntelliGreen screen using the “iGreen” option, selecting “Target” at a later time will return you to the last target screen viewed. The four available Target Views are: Standard, Graphical, Expanded, and Big Number.

Standard: A listing of all targets including safe landing zones in play from the tee that are visible or may be hidden will be displayed. Use the Scroll Pad to scroll through the targets manually (otherwise the targets will automatically scroll off the screen as you move down the fairway). The information provided with the Standard View instantly gives you the knowledge that only a caddie can provide to negotiate a hole (Fig. 10). Appendix A has a complete list of target names and their corresponding target descriptors.

Graphical: Use the Graphical View to display targets as intuitive, graphical icons (Fig. 11). Press UP/ DOWN on the Scroll Pad to move one target at a time. Press LEFT/RIGHT on the Scroll Pad to scroll to the top or bottom of the target list if the list is longer than can be displayed on a single screen.

Expanded: Displays an expanded version of the target descriptor and gives you the “Leaves” distance to the center (crosshair on IntelliGreen view) from that target (Fig. 12).
