1) On the main menu of Wegolf, you’ll select Courses.

2) Then you select New

3) Type in the course name and other info on this screen

4) Press Next

5) Now you will see a score card with all the holes’ par 4 and stroke 0. (You can fill the detail for each hole on your cell, but I find it more convenient to leave this part for later, when I am at my computer to enter this detail. So leave this for now and let’s start plotting POI…

6) Select options

7) Select GPS coordinates.

8) Select the hole that you are busy plotting.

9) Select New

10) Choose what the poi is, i.e. Green,Bunker,Tree etc.

11) Choose where on object the poi is, i.e. Front, Centre or Back

12) Choose which side of the fairway it is i.e., Left Middle or Right.

13) ThenĀ  select Options, enable GPS

14) Now you have to wait for the gps to register the coordinate. (normally the screen flickers very slightly when the coordinate is confirmed. Give it chance to flick 3/4 times until the coordinates stay the same after a flick :) )

15) The select options, save to save the poi

When you get to the green, with the latest version of Wegolf, you only have to map the Front/Middle and the Back/Middle of the green.Wegolf then automatically calculates the Green/Centre/Middle.

A person repeats these steps for every poi you want to plot on that hole. When you’ve mapped your last poi on a hole, you select back, to return to the list of holes (With the poi captured for each hole in brackets)

You then select the next hole you are on, and repeat the steps above until you have finished mapping all the poi on the course.
