SkyCaddie golf GPS based on Magellan eXplorist

Skycaddie_3 Early this year I posted about the GolfLogix GPS, based on the Garmin eTrex platform.  It turns out that Magellan is into golf too, as evidenced by the SkyCaddie SG3 and SkyCaddie SG4, which are based on the Magellan eXplorist line.

The SG4 is showing up in a couple of different places on Amazon, where it is attracting (depending upon which page you go to) both good and mixed reviews.

invisibleSHIELD screen protector for your GPS Last weekend I installed an invisibleSHIELD screen protector on my Garmin GPSMap 60CSx. I became interested in this product after reading rave reviews on Groundspeak, the geocaching message board. My tendency to crash my mountain bike and scratch my GPS didn't hurt either. The Invisible Shield installation was very easy. I did end up with some micro-bubbles which the instructions said would work their way out over the next 2-3 days. The bubbles did get smaller, but they were still there. So I took a pushpin and popped them, then used the supplied squeegee to remove the rest of the air from underneath them. Screen visibility is impacted in only the most minor manner, and the benefits of protecting the screen far outweigh any downsides. I just wish I would have had this when I purchased the unit. My only question now is whether or not I should use this on my nuvi 660, since the mount occasionally pops off the windshield! And before I forget, the invisibleSHIELD isn't limited to GPS receivers. You can get it for your iPod, cell phone, PDA, and more. Protect your GPS from scratches, get the invisibleSHIELD You can also buy the InvisibleSHIELD from...
