ConsSize – Although the Swami 4000 is light in weight, it is still thicker than many consumers would prefer. When it is placed into a pocket, the device may slip out in addition to its frequent loss of the satellite signal.
Operating System Compatibility – IZZO is not compatible with Mac computers, so these users will not be able to update course information. This can be a significant problem as some mapping problems require the device to be synced and updated in order to resolve them.
Settings – When changing settings on the Swami 4000, the user must exit the round before being required to reload satellite information and select the course and hole all over again.
