GPS Caddie II Review / April 2008
 The
original iGolf GPS Caddie that GolfTest USA reviewed in
2007 was very easy to operate and was moderately priced.
Its
replacement, the Caddie II has added some well thought out
changes, along with numerous new features at a price that
is well below other comparable competitive models. The display
screen is larger and the font is much easier to read. Testers
found that the readings were more accurate with fewer fluctuations.
The
Caddie II uses AA batteries and will also accommodate rechargeable
AA batteries which can be a big plus vs. other units that
require an expensive replacement of the built in rechargeable
battery.
The
Map Hole feature now permits a player to mark new custom
points while playing a hole. This is a time saving and very
convenient feature to have. The one touch, shot distance
feature is included on the main display where previously
it required a three-step process. Greenside bunker, hazards
and other distances are included in downloads. Eight user
added custom points are available in addition to the downloaded
information. Having this feature allows a golfer to customize
each hole based on what distances are important to know
when playing each hole.
Overall
iGolf has dramatically improved the Caddie II over their
original model. Based on the operation and features of the
Caddie II it is clearly the most value oriented full featured
golf gps unit on the market. GolfTest USA has determined
that the new iGolf Caddie II GPS is a quality product that
all golfers should consider before making a decision on
which golf gps unit is right for them. One important note
would be the price of the iGolf which is listed at $229.99.
The price of the iGolf Caddie GPS makes it the clear winner
for value.
 GolfTest
USA has awarded the iGolf GPS Caddie II our"Seal of Excellence", indicating that it is a golf product
which is of superior performance, quality and value.
