GolfLogix GPS Application on the HTC Touch Pro
Q: Is GolfLogix easy to use?
A: Yes. All GolfLogix products are designed so our Member golfers are never required to push any buttons during their round of golf. By using your GPS position on the course and a 2-minute timer that starts when you are within 75 yards of the green center, GolfLogix knows when you’re finishing the current hole and then automatically loads information for the next hole. If our Members choose to keep their score and track all of their personal stats, they can set Score-Stats to ON under the Setup Defaults tab. This allows them to quickly interact with the screen in-between shots and holes to enter their scoring and stat information. Then they can view their entire round summary at the end of their round.
Q: How do I download the GolfLogix GPS application?
A: Visit www.golfgps.com then go to the HTC Touch Pro section and click on the “download now” we have provided options for downloading from either your, Phone, or Email.

Q: How much storage does the GolfLogix GPS application use on my HTC Touch Pro?
A: The GolfLogix GPS application itself is approximately 2MB, which is equivalent to the size of one digital picture. Each golf course map file is on average 1KB and your scores and stats are on average 2KB. Because you will only play one golf course map at a time, typically the most memory you would utilize is about 3MB.

A: As a premium provider, it is our responsibility to provide the mapping service and support at your request rather than have you do the work. We carefully map each course and include the pertinent hazards/carry points on every hole. We use a variety of aerial and satellite imagery to map our courses. One advantage of using this method is that we will be updating our maps once per year to reflect the changes that are made at the golf courses. In fact, we are the only company that performs a review of each course map annually. We welcome input and additional course information from our customers.
Q: How does GolfLogix map the golf courses?

Statistics and Scorecards
Q: What statistics can I track with the GolfLogix GPS application?
A: At the end of each hole a scoring and statistics screen will appear where you can track…
- Score per round with a comprehensive scorecard view
- Scoring Averages on Par 3’s, 4’s, and 5’s
- Individual Club Measurements. Our application will track each shot you hit with the simple press of a button. At the end of the round you can view a club performance summary where our application will tell you what shot you hit on each hole and average distance of each club through your round.

Q: What if I just track my score, and do not want to track statistics?
A: Although GolfLogix offers the ability to track ALL of your golfing statistics, you don’t have to. Track some, none, or all of them to your own personal liking. You can even completely turn of the statistics option and only use the application as a pure hands-free Golf GPS device.
Q: How do I turn ON and turn OFF the statistics option.
A: While running the application, click on the “Setup” menu tab. This will bring up your setup menu; from here you can access the “Set Defaults” menu. Within this menu you can simply turn ON or OFF the Score-Stats option.
Q: Can I correct the default par data on a course?
A: Yes! GolfLogix is aware that courses can change very rapidly. If you are playing a course where the par information differs from what we have posted, you have the ability to change it. Simply click on the “Support” menu tab and select the “Email GolfLogix Support Tab” to report the error, be sure to include the name of the course and its city and state. An experienced technician will take the information and update the course so it’s ready for your next round.
Using the GolfLogix on the Course
Q: How do I maximize the HTC Touch Pro battery life while using GolfLogix?
A: The HTC Touch Pro’s battery life is very reliable for many functions, we find finishing a complete round with a full battery is completed with ease. GolfLogix highly recommends that your HTC Touch Pro has a fully charged battery before starting your round. Before the round, there are optional methods our GolfLogix members use that have proven to increase battery life while on the course. For example, under the HTC Touch Pro Settings icon, golfers can:
- Turn your Direct Push options off in your communications menu.
- At www.golflogix.com we offer all of our member’s special deals on HTC Touch Pro battery chargers and mounting accessories so you will never have to worry about your HTC Touch Pro’s battery life while on or off the course.
We highly recommend that you bring a battery extender with you to the course so you can use all of the amazing functionalities the HTC Touch Pro and GolfLogix have to offer.
Q: What happens during my round if the screen is auto-locked by the timer or locked manually?
A: Many HTC Touch Pro users have their backlight timeout feature in order to preserve battery life. Although this technique is very useful in preserving battery life, it has some drawbacks while using the GPS. When the phone is unlocked, the app will pick up right where it left off, so if you have moved from your previous location the HTC Touch Pro will need about 30-45 seconds to find your new location and calculate your yardages.
Q: Can I check my e-mail, make phone calls, or text message while using the GolfLogix GPS application?
A: Yes, as long as it does not interfere with playing golf. While using GolfLogix, press the minimize button in the top right hand corner of the app, then select an activity, when you are finished select the GolfLogix application again to continue playing golf.
Q: Can I find the distance of my last shot with the GolfLogix GPS application?
A: YES! At any point during your round you can press the “Measure My Shot” button. This will establish a point so you can walk or ride to the ending location of your shot. GolfLogix GPS will then tell you how far you have struck the ball and ask you if you want to log your club for statistical purposes.
Q: Why do the yardages sometimes change while I’m standing still on the golf course?
A: The GPS receiver in the HTC Touch Pro is constantly calculating your distances. The yardages may change randomly due to weather conditions and/or the number of GPS satellites it is currently seeing in the sky. This skew usually results to a 1 yard variance.
