Disc Golf Course Catalog

Create maps of your favorite disc golf courses with built in fairway images. Use the app to navigate poorly marked courses or browse for courses while planning a trip to a new city. The more users, the more courses will become available.

The currently recorded courses can be viewed here: http://www.thegolfcoursecatalog.com/CourseReview.html

This app turns your phone into a GPS Mapping device that records your path while automatically taking pictures as you move. The application allows for pausing so you can navigate hazards but still maintain the preferred flight path. You can get creative and attach your phone to a remote control aerial vehicle and record the fairway from the disc's view.

This application is still under development and you can expect new enhancements coming in the future. Please let us know of any undesired performance or suggestions and we will address it as soon as possible.

***You will want to make sure you have plenty of memory for storing pictures before starting***

After purchasing the app you will be able to create an account and start collecting courses following the on screen directions.

This is the process for collecting a course.

Collecting a tee,

Collecting fairway (this is where you will see as though you are taking a picture w/ your camera. You have to push start to begin recording your movement and taking pictures. If you see the counter on the bottom left count greater than 6, you have not started collecting yet. The app takes a picture every six seconds and is indicated when the counter returns to 1. Try not to stop collecting a fairway at the 6 second mark. We have had some problems there.

You can push the Pause button to temporarily suspend fairway recording so you can walk around hazards. The app will connect the 'pause and un-pause' locations with a straight line. To 'un-pause' push the pause button again and you should see the counter start counting again.

When you make it to the pin push stop recording button. Try not to do that when the counter is at 6. That is when the picture is being taken and has caused issues.

You will then be prompted to continue to the next hole, skip to a hole or stop collecting. The app does not automatically stop, so you must push quit when you are finished.

(one trick to collect a second tee is to skip to the hole that was just collected, for example at the pin of hole 2, skip to hole 2 and you will be collecting a second hole 2, caution, the map will get very cluttered if this is done for every hole and phone GPS is only so accurate. We have been sticking with just collecting long/pro tees)

The app will then bring you to the upload option. I advise you go to WiFi at that point so you don't use your data plan. It also takes quite a bit of time to upload all the data and images. When you are ready, enter the number next to the course you want to upload and push upload.

I suggest practicing before you try to complete a course and upload. You can always clear any practice by going to Application Manager>Golf Course Catalog>Clear Data and deleting data from your app. You will have to sign in again, but after that it should remember you. We are working on a 'clear data' option in the app for the future.

We are still working on a preview option as well as an edit fairway option. If you find you don't like what is uploaded, you do have the option to delete it.

Thanks for giving this a try!
Enjoy your day on the course.
