I have not been able to figure out what it is used for. I know it is a micro SD card slot. I have an extra 8 Gb card that I installed in my G6, but it does nothing. At one time I thought you could load background pictures but that doesn't seem to work either. The manual says nothing as you likely know.
+1 on viewing club averages. I can do it as well.I have used golflogix and caddie pro apps on my phone..I love my G6 approach.. You can view your club averages during a round.. I do it all the time..
Yes you have to save to record the round, so as they say, you'd have to keep the approach on till next round.I asked Garmin some questions and this was their reply.
Question 1: Can I play the front 9 holes and then come back and finish the back nine holes on another day? Question 2:What is the purpose of the microsd slot? Question 3:Will there be any software programs in the future to use the data stored on your device? Like maybe printing a club distance chart with longest distance and average distance for a club?
is this GPS tournament legal?
Just bought the Garmin G6, as my first GPS device. No coincidence that I broke 80 for the first time in 5 years (although I have not been playing much in recent years) when I played with the G6 on Wednesday. The reviews in this forum were some of the reasons I decided to purchase the G6, so thanks guys !
As people have noted, the stats is really lacking. It is too bad, as it would not have been hard for them to do so much more.
I played the first round with my hdcp turned on. I found this to be a mistake. The Garmin nicely gives you a net score, but it turned out the hole hdcping was wrong for the course I played. It had been rerated and the Garmin has the old data.
Thanks to the tips in previous pages, I was able to copy all the files into my PC. I then got into the scorecard.xml and figured out their schema. From there, I removed the hdcp and changed all of the scoring to gross scoring. Double checked that everything was correct, and then wrote the file back to the G6. Worked like a charm !
Next up was the ScoreCard.html program. It is SERIOUSLY LACKING ! I ended up getting into the style sheet and figured out how to add 2 more rows to my Scorecard. So now when I view the scorecard, I have the score, next row is # of putts, next row is FAIRWAYS ( < to indicate miss left, > indicates miss Right, X is fairway hit ). I would really like to add GIR, but that is going to take some calculating, and I don't know enough of the XML syntax yet to pull that off.
But my bigger problem is the fact that you can only view one card at a time, which is not really as useful as it could be. That means I really need to get the data into a spreadsheet. While I could put it into Excel, I am only running OpenOfficeCalc right now, and its XML support is dismal to say the least.
I think the better bet is to write a program that will take the data from the 'course scorecard'.xml file, and write it into a CSV file. This file could then be imported into any spreadsheet, as all of them easily support this type of file. And, it will be easy to create new fields, like GIR, TOT # of putts IN, TOT # putts OUT, etc.
Has anybody on the forum thought about creating a program to read the XML and create a CSV file? It has been 10 years since I've done anything like this. If I had a snippet of working code, I can morph (read plagiarise) it into what I need.
