What is the difference between the SGX Golf GPS and the SGX-W Golf GPS

The -W version allows the user to load courses onto the unit via a WiFi hotspot. This is handy when traveling, or a last minute invite to play Golf, and you're not near your Computer to sync. There are zero pros and cons while actually on a course. the -W also has a trackpad, instead of a joystick which has received numerous complaints, and their latest unit has now gone back to the joystick for moving the cursor. All in all, if both units are the same price, you should get it, but I have not found the difference between them enough for me to upgrade.

The LTD is the more "basic" model, with an analog meter. The WX is the LTD with weather channels & weather alert. The LX has weather & a digital meter plus digital controls. There are several other version of the Cobra 29, including some with backlit front panel illumination (Cobra calls this "Nightwatch"). The LX looks cool, but is more prone to malfunctioning, especially if it gets wet.

Thanks for the update, dsrussell. I'll take your advice and check out the review of the 765 that you mentioned at gpsmagazine.com. It's too bad that the folks at Garmin didn't include this info about the 765 in their owners manual. Must have been an oversight on their end. Again,thanks a bunch!

No, GAMEGOLF uses GPS. All you're doing is "tapping" locations of shots. GAMEGOLF does the rest. It's pretty cool. And the customer service is great!

One more thing - a golf GPS? Have you gotten lost playing golf? Not a golfer, but sounds dangerous!! :-)

The difference is the longitude, both are extremely hard to load. Don't buy this rifle you can get something better for a not so higher price.

I like it much better. I have a lot of friends that have Garmin. They seem to be limited to some courses which I have been able to receive on the Bushnell

Yes, from my research, bluetooth is the only difference between the two Garmin models you mentioned. I just ordered my 1450LMT and have not had a chance to use it. I would assume both units would function very similar as they have exactly the same feature set except for bluetooth.

For the price difference, I opted to do without. However, take along an old fashioned "analog" compass with you. They can be purchased from any sporting goods store for ten bucks or less. (Never go without a compass in the bush. Batteries have been known to expire when out int he field, then your GPS will be worthless.)

You'll find that the eXplorist GC has an older software, but the firmware is up-grade-able, but for "me" it only transferred using Win ExP. I had a lot of problems with the GPS freezing and had to remove the batteries. Spend a little more money for a Garmin.

Check the Bushnell golf website. The x is lighter, more courses, course odometer and more hazard distances it appears.

The GPS is suppose to show yardage to certain points as well as to the green, as should also tell you how far you hit the ball. I havenot had time to play with anything but yardages to the green. I think you need to download the maps for each course for free. I have donethat but have not tried to do any of the options. The directions are quite vague. You may want to call the Bushnell tech line: 800-423-3537

Hello Kim, I have had the Garmin S1 for several weeks now and have enjoyed using it. It has helped my game and gives me all that I need - accurate yardage to the front, center and back of the green. I am about a 17 handicap golfer and I do not need the additional features of the S2 and S3 which provide more information to include distance to hazards on the S3. The S2 is maybe $70 to $80 more than the S1 and the S3 maybe another $100. I need glasses to read the small print and appreciate the S1 with the large display of numbers. I could not effectively use the other models without putting on my reading glasses which I do not want to do while playing golf. I hope that helps - Have fun - Jack Hello Kim, I have had the Garmin S1 for several weeks now and have enjoyed using it.

Thanks for the info! I was really curious to know what the difference was between the two and could never get an answer that made any sense, until now. I went ahead and ordered the W, and I'm very pleased so far.

Right on the Garmin site! I studied the features of both units, and further down, they have a comparison chart. That's where I saw something a bit different noted on one unit over the other, so I went back to make sure I knew what it was and sure enough it was the part about how that unit shows the actual highway signs. You might have to click on something in the details to see a demo of what you'll see on the screen. I loaned our portable (old)Garmin to our daughter & was caught without it, so going to get this upgraded one to replace it & let her have the old one...

The difference is the GPS locater and the Aura Data Base. If you use Apple software, you may not be able to access the data base unless they updated the software.
