Here you can import GPS
Positions from a Google Earth KML File. Doing so, you can GPS calibrate
your Course at home using the Satellite Images.
In Google Earth, create a new Place mark for each GPS
Position using CTRL-N. The Best is, that you put all Place marks for
your Course into one Folder under My Places in Google Earth. In order to
associate the Place marks automatically to the Holes, put the Number of
the Hole first, then the Name of the GPS Position (e.g. "2 Water Hazard"
or "10 Fairway Bunker"). In order to determine which Place marks are the
Greens, name these Place marks Hole Number Start of Green (e.g. "7 Start
of Green"). Once you have defined all your GPS Positions in Google
Earth, right click on the Folder you have stored the Place marks in and
select Save As. Make sure you choose the Format KML.
After having selected the KML File, you can see at the
Top of the Window how many GPS Positions have been imported and a List
of all these Positions:
-
Use the Checkbox at the left
of each line to determine if you want to import this GPS Position or
not
-
You can see the original Name of
the Place mark in each line
-
Use the Edit-Boxes under Hole
in each Line to define which Hole the Place mark belongs to
-
Use the Checkbox under Green
to define the Place mark to be the Start of the Green
You can use the Scrollbar at the
right to scroll through all Place marks.
In case you followed the naming conventions for the Place
marks, all Settings should be automatically accurate.
Check Hole Images from GE in order to import not
only the Coordinates, but also a
Satellite Image for the Holes. Check Replace next to that, to
import an Image for each of the Holes, leave Replace unchecked to
import Images only for Holes which do not have an Image yet.
Check Replace in order to Replace GPS Coordinates of
those Positions that already exists and have the same Name than a
Position which is being imported. If Replace is left unchecked, Positions will
be added even if Positions with the same name already exist. In Order to to start the
Import, Tap on OK. After the Import,
the Positions of the imported GPS Positions
should be positioned on the Yardage Book Image by using the Pos Button
in the GPS Calibrate
Yardage Book Function which can be accessed from the
Yardage Book Images of the
Holes. To abort,
tap on Cancel.
