Abstract

See full text

Devices, apparatus, systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for determining distances to targets, such as targets on a golf course using a wireless communication device. Wireless device implementation allows for existing devices to be configured with the requisite application to provide for golf course distance measuring capabilities according to the present aspects. Present aspects provide for accurate and automated determination of the distance to the target, such as a transitory target like a golf cup. Current aspects may utilize communication network-based and/or satellite based systems to determine the distance to the desired target and provide for automatic position/location fixes to be performed when a target, such as a golf cup, is moved to a new location.
