I see a few Skycaddies for sale locally. they look kinda cool giving you a pic of the hole , distances to hazards, etc.. Do you need to buy subscription for them? Any other wrinkles I should know about them?
Yup. $20-45 per year depending on level/term/device type.
And there's serious doubts whether someone will actually walk each course they map.
I'd recommend trying a free app or 2 on your smartphone first and see if you want a dedicated device for that.

I like the idea of rechargeable AAs. How many holes does the G3 get on a fresh set of rechargeables?
I see the Approach claims 15 hours, does that seem close to what you get?
Question for those of you with a GPS watch and smart phone. Do you get any benefit from using the watch over the phone or the phone over the watch? I have the Golfshot App which can be really neat especially when you hit a good drive and you turn the shot tracker on. However in many cases it becomes a headache to keep reaching for the phone. I have been looking at either a Bushnell Laser or Garmin Approach but if neither one will make a big difference over the phone then I can save that 200+ dollars. Thanks in advance for any all the great responses.
Finally, I would state that I go to the golf course to get away from my phone. When I'm playing, that phone is on silent and in the bag. I wouldn't want any part of my game that actually encouraged me to mess with the phone, and thus have work and other life "issues" creep into my relaxation time.
