1. A device comprising:
- a display;
a position detection unit that determines a first geospatial position of the device;
a memory that stores a golf course map; and
circuitry configured to determine, based on the first geospatial position and the golf course map, a current hole of the golf course, and to output to the display a portion of the golf course map corresponding to the current hole, the displayed portion including an objective, whereinthe objective is a green on the current hole,in response to the position detection unit detecting a change from the first geospatial position to a second geospatial position, the circuitry changes the displayed portion of the golf course map such that the displayed objective coincides with a vector to the green from the second geospatial position.

Abstract
Golf club telemetry equipment sends signals to a receiver in a golf round data system. The signals uniquely identify the particular club a player has selected for a stroke and the fact that a stroke has been taken. The club identification can occur either before or during a stroke. Automatic detection of clubs and strokes simplifies round data collection for the player. Club identification before a stroke permits a forecast of the result of the stroke to be presented to then player prior to the stroke. The signals can be either acoustic or electromagnetic.

14. A method of displaying information on a device, the method comprising:
-
determining a first geospatial position of the device; determining, based on the first geospatial position and a golf course map stored in a memory, a current hole of a golf course corresponding to the golf course map, outputting, to a display, a portion of the golf course map, the displayed portion including an objective, and in response to detecting a change from the first geospatial position to a second geospatial position, changing the displayed portion of the golf course map such that the displayed objective coincides with a vector to the green from the second geospatial position, wherein the objective is a green on the current hole.

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored therein, that when executed by one or more processors, causes a computer to perform a method comprising:
-
determining a first geospatial position; determining, based on the first geospatial position and a golf course map stored in a memory, a current hole of a golf course corresponding to the golf course map, outputting, to a display, a portion of the golf course map, the displayed portion including an objective, and in response to detecting a change from the first geospatial position to a second geospatial position, changing the displayed portion of the golf course map such that the displayed objective coincides with a vector to the green from the second geospatial position, wherein the objective is a green on the current hole.

16. A device comprising:
-
a display; a position detection unit that determines a first geospatial position of the device; a memory that stores a golf course map; and circuitry configured to determine, based on the first geospatial position, a current hole of the golf course, and to output to the display a portion of the golf course map corresponding to the current hole, the displayed portion including the first geospatial position and an objective, wherein the objective is a green on the current hole, and in response to the position detection system detecting a change from the first geospatial position to a second geospatial position, the circuitry changes the displayed portion of the golf course map such that a line connecting the second geospatial position and the objective is centered on the display.
