2.5.5 Course Play in Green View

2.6 Preview Mode

• 

If the full layout view of the course you are playing on has not yet been made 
available in GolfBuddys course library, the play screen will show a view of the 
green for each hole during the course of your round without the map of the 
hole, as shown in the illustration below.

• 

If the full layout view of the course you wish to play on is not preloaded in 
your unit, please go to www.gpsgolfbuddy.com to see if the course library 
has been updated with the maps since the time you purchased your unit. If 
you find that the map of your desired course has not yet been added, please 
check the course library periodically, as thousands of maps are being added 
each month and are available for free to download. You may also place a 
request to have the map of a specific course added.

You can also record the score and add/edit the targets on the course. The 
“Targets” bar below the green indicates the number of targets on that hole. 
A list of each target for that hole can be seen by touching the bar. You can 
return back to the play screen by touching “Back” on the bottom right of the 
screen.

Preview Mode allows you to familiarize yourself with the functions and features of 
your unit in indoor locations where a satellite signal is not available. It also allows 
you to preview a specific course before playing a round.

• 

Go to the Main Menu and touch “Preview Mode”, and a list of countries will 
appear. Select one of the countries by touching the screen, and select a golf 
course from the list that appears.

• 

To exit from Preview mode, press the “Menu” button and the “Quick Tools” 
menu will appear. Touch “End Round” and you will then be taken back to the 
Main Menu.

• 

Since preview mode is “simulating” a satellite signal, not all functions will work correctly.
