A GPS receiver receives navigation signals from satellites (10), from a fixed location on a golf course, the location defined in stable location data. Location data derived from the navigation signals defines the fixed location in unstable location data and is compared with the stable location data form generating an error signal. A mobile GPS receiver (12) on a fairway also receives the navigation signals at an undefined location. Location of the mobile unit is derived from the received navigation signals and the error signal to generate a stable location. The distance and direction of a golf ball (5) from the mobile unit are measured and combined with the stable location data of the mobile unit to define the location of the golf ball. The distance between the ball and a hole on a green, fixed and known location, is measured by simple mathematics.

Récepteur GPS recevant des signaux de navigation captés par des satellites (10) et provenant d'un point fixe sur un terrain de golf, ce point étant déterminé à partir de données sur le point fixe. Les données de localisation dérivées des signaux de navigation définissent le point fixe à partir de données sur les points qui ne sont pas fixes et elles sont comparées aux données sur les points fixes générant un signal d'erreur. Un récepteur GPS mobile (12) situé sur une allée du vert reçoit également des signaux de navigation à un point non défini. La position de l'unité mobile est déterminée à partir des signaux de navigation et d'erreur reçus pour déterminer un point fixe. La distance et la direction d'une balle de golf (5) par rapport à l'unité mobile sont mesurées et combinées aux données sur le point fixe de l'unité mobile afin de déterminer l'endroit où se trouve la balle de golf. La distance entre la balle et un trou sur le vert, point fixe et connu, est mesurée par un simple calcul mathématique.
