The GolfBuddy World Platinum is a super-powerful, interactive, touchscreen GPS rangefinder with an outstanding array of new functions designed to give golfers the ultimate game-management tool.
Alongside its innovative Pro Play system – which allows golfers to track, record and analyse their own playing statistics, including greens and fairways hit in regulation and number of putts per hole – the GolfBuddy World Platinum has been developed to give instant measurement to and from any point on the hole.
GolfBuddy World Platinum is unmatched in its technology, which includes:
GolfBuddy World Platinum displays full hole layouts, with distances to and from any point shown by touching the screen. There's no slow or fiddly toggle button to press, you just touch the screen for an instant reading. Touch bunkers and water hazards for precise distances to reach and carry them - or identify yardages to safe spots on the fairway and plot your way around the course.
TouchPoint makes the World Platinum super-easy to use. You can zoom into any section of the hole by touching the screen – or switch instantly to full green view. You can also hit 'Targets' to view distances to all hazards and lay-up zones on the hole. On the green, you can move the Touch 'N' Move flag to any position on the green with your fingertip or a tee peg.
The World Platinum always shows yardages to the front, middle and back of the green directly from your angle of approach. Unlike laser rangefinders, whose view of the pin may be obscured if you're on an adjacent fairway, you will always get a reading to the green - wherever you are.
Using the unique Pro-Play mode gives you a complete scoring and game analysis function. Input the handicaps for four players and the stroke index of each hole and the World Platinum will automatically work out your Stableford points. You can also record your percentage of fairways hit, greens in regulation, sand saves and putts so you can easily identify where your game is strong or weak.
GolfBuddy World Platinum comes preloaded with international courses, selected from a worldwide 28,000 course library – all free of charge. And there are no annual subscriptions or download fees. Once you buy a GolfBuddy you get free, global GPS access to all our maps and course information completely FREE OF CHARGE.
GolfBuddy uses professional mapping teams to map courses on foot to create precise yardage readings and supremely accurate and visual full hole layouts. You can also add your own targets on any hole you play via the simple user interface. You can programme in a favourite lay-up area, or new hazards when any course is modified.
The World Platinum boast True GPS and Automatic Course & Hole Recognition, which means you simply turn it on and it will recognise where you are. But you an also use an intuitive menu and keyboard to search for countries and courses.
* GolfBuddy combines mapping courses on foot with satellite readings and images and traditional course artwork diagrams to create Direct Overhead Images Layouts. New layouts are created every day, so you may find that some courses may not yet be fully available in this mode. You can request courses or speak to customer support team via www.gpsgolfbuddy.eu
