SkyCaddie launch no-fees AIRE II handheld GPS
Published: Last updated:
SkyCaddie’s entry level, ready-to-play AIRE II GPS now shows dynamic distances which reflect your angle of approach, while offering pre-loaded Front-Centre-Back green distance information for 35,000 exclusive SkyCaddie worldwide golf course maps, all created and surveyed on foot. Quarterly updates ensure that AIRE II customers have information on the latest course changes.
Large, easy-to-read numbers fill the brightly-lit 1.8” sunlight-readable greyscale display, and intelligent automation means that AIRE II recognises not only which course you are playing, but also which hole, without any button-pressing.
With a digital scorecard function capable of storing up to 20 rounds, Shot Distance measurement function, fitness functions such as odometer, calorie counter and distance tracker, plus watch functions including pace-of-play timer and stopwatch, the compact AIRE II is truly features-packed “out of the box”.
AIRE II also adds upgradeability for the first time, with SkyCaddie members now able to enhance their AIRE II with access to SkyCaddie’s revolutionary IntelliGreen feature, which provides actual green shape from your angle of approach, plus adjustable pin targeting giving precise distances to the hole.
The upgrade to SkyCaddie membership also gives AIRE II customers the ability to download the latest ground-mapped golf course amendments at any time, rather than waiting for the quarterly updates.
The upgrade also unlocks SkyCaddie’s full TrueGround Target List for each course, with up to 40 hazards, carries and suggested layup points per hole. It also enables golfers to sync their AIRE II with SkyCaddie’s SkyGolf 360 smart phone App or with SkyCaddie’s online community, for comprehensive post-round analysis.
“The AIRE II contains all we know about golf course distance measurement in a tiny, ultra-light package” said Jacqui Surman, SkyCaddie Vice President of International Sales & Marketing. “It condenses a quarter of a million hours of exclusive SkyCaddie course mapping into a truly pocket-sized rechargeable unit with great battery life and the simplest possible display. If all you want is a quick glance at golf’s most accurate GPS numbers, the AIRE II is perfect for you”.
The water-resistant AIRE II can be clipped to a belt or a golf trolley, or can hang from your golf bag. Its rechargeable lithium battery powers the device for up to 10 hours between charges.
