61
(yard or meter) are correct.
In addition, the distance in GPS device is not related
with the locations of tee boxes. The distance is
calculated based on the difference between your
position (the “apparent” position) and the known
position. The apparent position is the moveable
location of the GPS device which receives the signal.
The known position is the position of the target or
reference point.
The known position is fixed and is the coordinates,
such as bunker and green, downloaded from the
database of the Sonocaddie website. Therefore when
you stand by the tee box (apparent position of GPS
device you carry), the unit will calculate the
distance between you and the green or known
position.
