SkyCaddie SGXw Problem?

[Big Kahuna]

I went back to SkyCaddie last season after using my iPhone for a few seasons and am glad I did, I feel like the yardages are more accurate and I don't have to worry about finding a way to charge my phone at work if Im playing a twilight round. I purchased the SGXw and was pretty happy with it except for one thing. I am not a fan of the optical track pad. It feels very jumpy and at sometimes down right annoying, I have even toyed with the idea of possibly selling the SGXw and maybe purchasing the new GIMME. Anyone else have these problems or maybe a solution for me.

I've read about this problem when researching SkyCaddie. Apparently the regular SGX has the joystick and doesn't suffer from the trackpad issue.

Unless your are locked into the wireless solution (didn't seem that important to me) I would suggest researching the normal SGX to verify the above.

My trackpad sometimes does not sense my swipe but I still like it better than the joystick. The disc on the SG5 was my favorite though. Also I love the wifi capabilities of my SGXw. I do my syncing over wifi which is more convenient and faster than a wired connection since you do not redownload courses over wifi.

I prefer the SGX over the wireless cause of that, much easier to use.

My favourite was also the SG5 disc, and I have the SGX with Joystick. There were many concerns/comments similar to yours, and you're just SOL. I do believe the SGXw was their only unit ever with the trackpad.

I don't understand why you'd even contemplate trading your 'Cadillac of SkyCaddie' device for the Gimme?
