Golf ball locator
First Claim
41. A computer-based product storing computer instructions which can be used to program a processor to perform the following steps:
- obtaining triangulation data indicative of a location of the golf ball;
processing the triangulation data to produce at least one location signal defining the location of the golf ball; and
outputting at least one location signal indicating the location of the golf ball in relation to a two-dimensional area including the location of the golf ball.

Abstract
A golf ball locator system including a golf ball including an electromagnetic signal transmitter; at least two electromagnetic signal receivers configured to receive an electromagnetic signal transmitted by the golf ball; and a processor coupled to the receivers and configured to receive signals from the receivers, to determine a location of the golf ball using triangulation calculations, and to output at least one signal indicating the location of the golf ball in relation to a two-dimensional area including the location of the golf ball.
