Golf GPS software on itouch
tuna
I'm looking for a golf software on itouch since most of the software
they have on iphone which i don't own an iphone :-(
Please recommend a good one for itouch since I just want to use it for
range finder and maybe storing score of each game (North America golf
course)
Thanks so much

As the iPod Touch doesn't have a GPS device, and there's not many WiFi
points around (most) golf courses, an application as described
your Subject: line may be a challenge!

Maybe maybe not. I was at a friends house who lives on a golf course.
There were 6 different wifi signals available from his backyard on the
fairway. Might not be the best, but might be usable.

It might be useable in terms of keeping the ipod online, but it's
unlikely to give locations anywhere near accurate enough to compare to
GPS.

It needs satellites to work some must be a GPS enabled device.

Right. But that's not accurate. When I'm in my house, it maps my
"current location" as somewhere within a 300-meter radius. Different
place (within that area) each time.
At work, it's even worse. About 500 meters.

it depends how well skyhook logged the nearby wifi networks. i've seen
ipods locate themselves with amazing accuracy, right down to the house
and i've also seen the iphone be 5-10 miles off.
