Modulo GPS is a golf GPS rangefinder. It shows the distance to the front, middle and back of the green, live, as you walk. Open the app, pick your course, and the number is there. ON THE COURSE - Live distances to the front, middle and back of every green - Lay-up references at 150, 100 and 50, and the bunkers and water on each hole, on the same screen - Par, stroke index and hole length always in view - A green compass that points to the middle of the green from wherever you are - Measure any shot with a tap at the start and a tap where it landed - Large, high-contrast numbers made to be read in direct sun - Larger text, a colour-blind palette and a high contrast mode in Appearance - The screen stays on while a round is open - Metres or yards, one tap KEEP SCORE Turn scoring on when you set up a round and enter each hole as you play. Stableford and medal are included. Modulo GPS Pro adds betterball, alliance, foursomes, American scramble and more, with WHS handicaps and a different tee for each player. Every round is saved to your history. APPLE WATCH The watch app has its own course list and GPS, so you can leave your phone in the bag. Start a round on your wrist and open Modulo GPS on your phone: the same round is there, on the same hole, with the scores you have entered. Change hole or enter a score on either one and the other follows. ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN While a round is open, the distances sit on your lock screen and in the Dynamic Island, and you can change hole without unlocking. FIND YOUR COURSE Nearby courses are listed by distance from you. Save your favourites and they work offline. PAY ONCE Modulo GPS is free to use, with live middle-of-green distance, the green compass, Measure, Stableford and medal scoring, and the watch app. Play your first five rounds with everything unlocked. Modulo GPS Pro is a single payment, not a subscription, and adds front and back distances, the hazards on each hole, every scoring game, and up to five offline courses. Courses in South Africa.
