GOLF NAVIGATION SYSTEM AND PORTABLE GOLF NAVIGATION APPARATUS

摘要

The portable golf navigation apparatus includes a controller, a memory, a GPS/GNSS receiver, a display section, a wireless transceiver, a connector section for providing bi-directional communications, and a user input device for receiving user commands. The weighted golf course information includes names and position information of the golf course items and weight information associated with each of the golf course items. The controller calculates a current position of the apparatus based on the received GPS/GNSS signals, and calculates a distance from the current position to a golf course item based on the position information stored in the memory. The display section selectively displays, under control of the controller, the indication of the golf course item and, optionally, the calculated distance thereto with an emphasis such that strength of the emphasis is in accordance with the weight information associated with the golf course item.
