Playing - Recording GPS Positions

Here you can record your Stroke lengths and Green Positions. The upper Part of the Screen is identical to the Settings-GPS screen, please see there for details. In the Lower part, you can record your GPS Positions of your Strokes:

Use the Position Combo Box to select which Position you want to record: 

  • select Tee if you want to record the Position where you hit your Tee-Shot from

  • select After Stroke X to record where your Ball landed after hitting stroke X, in case you had to drop the Ball after Stroke X,  you will see Aft Str X (Out), Aft Str X (Water) or Aft Str X (Unpl) in the list

  • in case you had to drop the ball, select Drop for Stroke X to define the position where you dropped

  • in case you hit your Ball Out of Bounds, you don't need to record a position for your second shot from this position as the position of the initial shot which went out of bounds is automatically used

  • select Start of Green to set the Position of the Green. The Positions of the greens are immediately saved into the Courses Database.

Tap on Del to delete a previously recorded GPS Position.

Next to Is GPS from you can tap on either Now, 5s, 10s or 30s to set the Position selected before to the GPS Signal from now or the average of the GPS Signals from the last 5, 10 or 30 seconds. Using an average Position helps to eliminate inaccuracies of the GPS signal. You should watch the Movement over the last Seconds and the Colored Horizontal Bar closely to judge the quality of the GPS Position (see Settings-GPS for details). In case you want to record a Position which is already recorded, a Warning is issued. After the Position was recorded, you return to Playing the Game automatically. In case these Buttons are grayed out, you are either not connected to your GPS device (tap on Connect in the upper Part) or there is no GPS Position available (check the Fix in the upper Part).

In case One-Touch GPS is activated in the Settings, you can tap on OT-GPS which is shown instead of the 10s and 30s buttons, to initiate a One-Touch GPS  measurement. In case this Measurement is successful, you are being told "measured", in case the Measurement fails, you hear "no valid measurement".

At the very Bottom of the Screen you can see for which Player and Hole you record the GPS Positions.

To leave without recording Positions, tap on Cancel.
