GPS enabled mobile phones were being used solely for navigational purposes but a new GPS enabled mobile phone with a virtual caddy program that would soon be used by golfers to improve their tee-shots. Korea Telecom Freetel (KTF) has unveiled a new mobile series exclusively for golfers. The mobile GPS devices are preloaded with the ground data of 250 Korean golf courses. It also has been loaded with a virtual caddy program replicating the real game in the golf courses. The application software and the real time location data received from satellites will help golfers to plan the angle of their shots with better accuracy. Depending on the receiver module the device is capable of providing accuracy of 5-meter in open space. To aim at better tee-shots with the phone the users have the option to measure the distance from the tee box to their current positions or from their current positions to the cup. Currently with preloaded data covering only Korean golf courses, the device is for the time being meant for the Korean domestic markets or for international golfers competing on Korean golf courses.
