GolfScope Distance Mesurement

Read full description

Golf Scope is an app developed to easily, quickly and accurately determine the distance and height to the target point in actual golf round situations. It contains only essential core functions so that people of all ages can easily use it, and it is designed so that it can be used anywhere in the world. ● The distance is displayed as a contour line based on your current location, and the course map moves in the direction you are moving, like a car navigation system. ● Check the target point distance and location quickly and easily within 4 seconds: The distance and height of the target point are displayed in a contour line format on the map so that you can know the distance and height of the target point with just a glance, even during a golf round or while moving. ● Font size and distance check readability have been adjusted to suit senior golfers, and directionality has been improved. ● All golf courses in the world can be viewed on a satellite or map, providing excellent readability. ● If you take it out only when necessary, you can see at a glance the distance and height from your location to your target point. ● The app is not active when the screen is off or in the background, so battery consumption is low even when used for a long time. ● You can select between yards and meters as the distance height measurement unit.
