LINX GT GameTracking Edition is a GPS rangefinder and shot tracking watch with synchronized mobile GPS app. At its core, it is a standalone GPS watch that features SkyGolf’s TrueGround course maps, preloaded to provide golfers with distances they can trust.
Featherweight RFID smart tags can be installed on your clubs in just seconds. The tags are used to identify each club in your bag so that LINX GT and SkyCaddie Mobile can track data on each shot. You’ll see your round displayed on brilliant HD course maps. You’ll know how far you hit every club in your bag and where you hit each shot, which can result in better game management and lower scores.
LINX GT includes automatic shot tracking just in case you forget to tag a shot, which runs in the background while you play. All your game tracking data wirelessly uploads to your “My 360” account in the SkyGolf 360 cloud. Once uploaded, you can review your round from any mobile or desktop device, without the need for a cable! SkyCaddie’s simple one-touch editing system makes this quick and easy!
Preloaded with 35,000 TrueGround course maps, it’s ready-for-play, worldwide. IntelliGreen displays the true shape of the green, rotated by your angle of approach and moves the cursor to any point on the green. Players can automatically share rounds in real-time with friends or their golf instructor. Customize displays with reverse polarity background and multiple styles of analog and digital time faces.
The LINX GT watch comes complete with 15 smart tags with storage pouch, divot tool with smart tag, charging cable and user documentation. It has a 1-year prepaid card for access to advanced feature course maps, SkyCaddie Mobile app, SkyGolf 360 and more.
