Loading the Green View in Basic Mode

A small sidetrack today about a feature on the uPro.

You can be in Basic Mode, and still get a measurement to any part of the green, rather than the basic measurements of front, center, and back. Here's how you do it:

First make sure you're set up to see the Virtual Green view.

1.From the inital screen, select Settings


2. Select Preferences

 3. Select Green View Options

4. On the Green View Options screen, Select Both Green View

Now, when you're at the course in basic mode, a new option appears.  Say you're on a hole with the front, middle, and back numbers.  At the lower left is a button that you usually select to see how far it is to hazards on that hole.
After you've selected that Hazards button, you'll now see that pressing it a second time (note it says Green), it does not go back to the Basic View, but instead shows you a view of the green. Here's an example below--I've hit it over the green, and wanted a measurement to the pin.
When this view has been selected, by using the Mark button, you can then move the cursor around just like Pro Mode. It's a simplified drawing of the green vs. the photo in Pro Mode, but might be all you want or need.
