V3, H4 and ProLx+

Opting to play in GPS+Track mode provides you with the distances for the front, middle and back of the green on the device and engages the performance tracking function also. The yardages you are shown are Dynamic Yardages, meaning that the points are based on the angle of the player to the green rather than basing the distances on fixed points. Click here for more information on Dynamic Yardages. The “Track” aspect of this mode means that the device can record the shots you are playing. On a V3 and V2 shots will be recorded automatically and on a H4/ProLx+ it will be recorded manually by 'tagging'. You will also be prompted to use PinCollect after you complete each hole.
