I have the MGI Navigator GPS model. I rarely use the GPS screen, as I prefer my laser. That said, I do find it useful in a few specific situations:
-When I'm in a tough spot and can't see the pin or my lay-up area.
-During slow rounds, where I want to get ready in advance. I’ll laser the pin from farther back in the fairway, compare it to the front/middle/back yardages on the GPS, and then use that differential to estimate the pin yardage when I get to my ball.
I enjoy using the caddy overall, but I use stand bags and refuse to switch to a cart or hybrid bag. I had to buy an adapter off Etsy just to keep my bag from twisting, which feels ridiculous given the price of the unit. It’s clear they’re trying to push people into their bag ecosystem which only guarantees I’ll never buy one of their bags.
Stability is decent. I’ve dumped mine a few times thanks to the elevation changes on my course, but after a few rounds, I learned where I need to keep a hand on it.
The controls are a weak point. We grew up playing video games, there’s no reason for the responsiveness to be this poor. If I input too many commands quickly, there’s noticeable lag when trying to stop it. It’s not just my unit, my wife’s does the same. It shouldn’t require a “less is more” approach to inputs.
This is my first electric caddy, but I’d say the value is underwhelming. Walking has improved my game and made golf more enjoyable, so I don’t regret the purchase but I’m confident someone else can build a better product.
