Is anyone using any iPhone GPS apps?
I tried one today for the first time today...Golf Logix 24 hour trial on a pretty popular course out here (Point Roberts, just across the border in WA). I'm glad it was the free trial because I was pretty unimpressed. #1 problem was the par values were all f'd up...to the point where it was ridiculous - 564 yard par 3? 221 yard par 5? (I wish!) The order of the holes hasn't changed recently, so no explanation for this error. It made it hard to know if you were on the right hole and whether the hazards were right...not cool.
Other annoying things - explain to me how to end a round. Show me a scorecard that shows my putts on each hole, instead of just how many 3 putts, 2 putts, 1 putts, etc. Give me the ability to set my target from the aerial view. Distinguish sand saves from chips/scrambling. There's more, but those are what come to mind. Allow for the fact that sometimes you can miss a fairway/green by going long or short (not just left or right).
So...anyone use anything else? Have also been looking at Airvue (only $10) and Golfshot ($30). I've heard about some annoying features in Golfshot like that it downloads every course in your area, not just the ones you want (so I might get every course in BC rather than just the ones that I play) and then you only get aerial images on course because their license doesn't allow for caching the images (super suckage if you want to travel and have to deal with data plan issues).
Any thoughts or recommendations?
