GPS Industries, LLC Starting up the Visage VDU When you turn on a unit, it will first go through a series of diagnostics. The screen will show a “booting up” message and a progress indicator. The Welcome Screen After boot up is complete, the VDU will typically show a course’s “Welcome Screen.” The Welcome Screen is an ad the course defines welcoming golfers to the course that displays when golf cars are near the clubhouse or in the staging area.
GPS Industries, LLC The Golf Map Screen The main screen that golfers will interact with is the Golf Map screen. This screen shows a map of the current hole and yardages to hazards and other point of interest. Flyovers When golfers first reach a hole, they will see a a 3D flyover to help them plan their strategy for the hole. After the flyover finishes playing, the screen will return to the golf map. Golfers can view the flyover again at any time by pressing the “view flyover” button on the screen.
GPS Industries, LLC Distances The Visage VDU uses GPS to calculate distances to hazards and other points of interest on the golf course. The distances are measured by line-of-sight (or “as the crow flies”), and may differ from yardages given on your course’s scorecard. Scorecard distances are typically measured by line-of-play, and so may be larger than the line-of-sight distance.
GPS Industries, LLC Navigation Panel In the bottom corner of the screen, there is a navigation panel that allows golfers to access the main menu, view flyovers, and zoom in or out on the hole. If an insert ad is defined for the hole, it will display in this spot. If no ad is defined, the navigation panel will move the bottom of the screen. Ads During play, ads are shown in the corner of the screen. When you approach the green, you may see a full-screen ad. To dismiss this ad, touch the screen anywhere.
GPS Industries, LLC Tee shot distances After you hit your drive and move away from the teebox, Visage will display distances measured from your golf car back to up to five teeboxes. This yardage can be used to help you determine the distance of your drive. This is shown in an informational popup that appears at the bottom of the screen. Car Ahead On blind tee shots, the Visage VDU may warn the golfer that someone is in the driving area.
GPS Industries, LLC Select another hole To select another hole, first press the “Main Menu” button. Then, press the “Choose Hole” button.
