Play Golf:

Search for My Course

Course Selection - The GolfLogix application gives you immediate

wireless access to more than 25,800+ golf courses mapped around the

world so there isn’t any syncing or loading with a computer.

There are two ways to search for a golf course, either by your current

location or an optimized search through our entire golf course list.

My Current Location - Pressing this option will show you the closest

courses sorted by your current location. Select a course from the list to

download and start playing golf.

Course List - Pressing this option will allow you to sort through the

entire GolfLogix database of golf courses. Select a Country, then a

State/Province, then look at all of the golf courses in a City or type in

course names to filter the results. Select a course from the final list to

download and start playing golf.

13

Scoring and Stat-Tracking Options - This screen will show before you start your round. Pressing ‘Yes’ will allow you

to keep your score and track your stats during this round. The ‘Enter My Stats and Score’ screen will automatically

appear when you are finished with each hole.

Press ‘No’ and you will not see the scoring and stat screen in between each hole.

Aerial Imagery - This screen will show up after you select a starting hole and press ‘Play Golf’. Keep in mind

downloading the aerial imagery will increase the download time to download the course data.

Press ‘No’ if you do not wish to use aerial imagery.

14

Play Golf:

Hazard-Layups Screen

Hazard-Layups Screens - These screens display all of the

hazards, layups, and the green center yardages on Par 4 and Par

5 holes. The ‘To Green Center’ line will remain on the top of this

screen at all times. Please note: GPS calculates a straight line

distance from where you are standing to the center of the green

whereas tee box plates read down the center of the fairway to

pivot points on the hole and then to the center of the green.

Therefore, GPS distances and tee box plates will never match

up on Par 4 and Par 5 tee boxes.

When your location gets within 150 yards of a hazard-layup point, that hazard-layup will automatically disappear

from the list and the remaining hazard-layups on the hole will move up the screen. The remaining hazard-layups can

always be seen by scrolling the track ball down from the last showing hazard-layups line.

When the golfer is within 200 yards of the center of the green, this screen will change to a Green Screen.

your ball to where it landed and then log which club you hit. Pressing ‘Reset My Shot’ stops the ‘Measure My Shot’
