Grinters! we are very excited to announced that we are almost ready to release the new GPS feature for our iPhone App. We have done plenty of testing and it seems like we are ready for release. We will be submitting this version in the next few days to Apple for review.
NOTE: We still have a very limited number of golf courses in our database so we need your help to continue to add maps using our GPS Course Mapper (Click here)
1) We will continue to have Score tracking and USGA compliant handicaps as our primary focus. The screen will look exactly the same but with a quick glance at the top right corner you will be able to see the distance to the pin. If you tap on the top right circle you will see the GPS map detail.
2) Tap on the GPS circle and you will get access to the GPS map. In there you will see an aerial image of the hole. The aimpoint will be set by default to the ideal driving spot for Par 4 and 5's. You can drag that aimpoint to any location on the map to get distances to specific targets.
You will also have the right hand side banner that will provide distances to key mapped elements of the hole at a glance.
3) As we continue to develop our maps we are dedicating a lot of efforts and investment in adding new courses and approving the courses that our members upload. That is why we will have to charge for each course map at what we believe is an affordable price of 0.99
Members will get course maps for free if they map them. So we encourage you to map all the courses you play so you get them for free (GPS Course Mapper)
Please let us know if you have any questions at contactus@thegrint.com. We hope you enjoy this coming GPS feature as much as we have enjoyed developing and testing it!
Enjoy your Golf!
