<p>The invention concerns a golf buggy and a mobile transmitter unit which is carried by the golfer. The buggy and the transmitter unit each comprise a receiver~and~evaluating~unit~provided~with~a~computer~for~a~satellite-controlled~positioning~system.~The~two~receiver~and~evaluating~units~calculate~ the~respective~position~of~the~golfer~and~the~buggy~from~the~signals~received~c yclically~from~the~satellite~system.~The~mobile~transmitter~unit~is~provided~wi th~a~high-frequency~hand-held~transmitter~by~means~of~which~the~positions~of~the~golfer~can~likewise~be~ transmitted~cyclically~to~the~buggy.~In~each~case~the~buggy~computer~calculates ~the~direction~and~distance~of~the~golfer~and~stores~these~data~until~it~travel s~the~stored~path~in~response~to~a~signal.~The~buggy~remains~at~a~predetermined ~distance~from~the~golfer.~If~a~stationary~reference~transmitter,~which~correct s~the~golfer~and buggy position data received from the satellite system, is also used, given areas of the golf course can be blocked off as areas in which the buggy may not travel.</p> |
