Agree. While View Ti was first out of the gate, I have since been using Golfshot GPS and really loving it for its simplicity and incredible depth. I will post a review

View Ti have gone from legitimate app to scam in my book. When I bought it they advertised no upgrade fess or annual fees. Now they have a “new” app (really the same app with a UI refresh) that I have to buy?

This prompted me to buy GolfShot instead of paying for something I had been told was free. It’s a better app as well!

I did not renew my sky caddy membership and opted instead to purchase the View TI Golf. The users guide led me to believe that when you are on a tee box you can view the entire hole. I find I get mostly the green views and cannot seem to get the view I want, especially on par 5′s where you are trying to lay up to certain distances OR you are trying to get distances to carry hazards from the tee box.

I have emailed View TI Golf over ten days ago and can not get a response or help from them. If anyone has any suggestions as to my problems with View TIGolf, I would appreciate any info.

press settings, then press general, then press network -you’ll then see the “Enable 3G” toggle switch.

Thanks for the reply. I’m still confused about how to “turn 3G off”. Is that the same as Airplane Mode?

When I putted out on the 8th green I stood in the exact middle of the green and the unit said I was a distance of 15 yards. I’d sure like to avoid that kind of error.

I agree -it takes some getting used to. I use it when I can’t find geographic markers. The drift that you see I think has to do with the way iPhone triangulates cell towers and GPS. It may lose GPS and then try to fix on cell towers for location. I’ve had up to ten yards off. Turning off 3G causes some problems when getting yardage with “green” mode -where the satellite pic of the green is seen. Switching to “N” mode (no green view) with 3G off I think marginally improves speeds. I think the best version is frankly the View Ti N -it gives you the basic functionality that lets you decide on a club within a half a club accuracy -same as finding a sprinkler head. On my home course, I stick strictly to memory and landmarks.

I think some readers confuse me for the company -I have nothing to do with View Ti whatsoever and get no income from this blog or from the authors of View Ti. I think it is one of the coolest iPhone apps but is limited by what the iPhone can do with GPS and AT&T’s 3G network.

you can turn off 3G by going to general settings/network.

Tried View TI for the first time tonight and for the most part it worked fine. A couple of times the yardage got really whacky (like over 6000 years) but was accurate for the most part. At one point, it performed erratically. I was waiting behind an agonizingly slow foursome. I was situated at the 112 yard mark as stepped off from the permanent marker. At first the unit registered 110 and then slowly dropped down to 95 yards before slowly returning to 110. That’s a pretty big disparity. Hitting the refresh icon in the upper left didn’t change the yardage. Someone suggested turning off 3G. Is that the same as selecting Airplane Mode?

looks like a great course -you’ll have to request the course on your app and it should be available in about 48 hours. my problem has been that my view ti golf has been crashing on launch -recently did a reset -will try this weekend because the course opens finally!
