Using Open Tee can significantly improve your golfing experience by providing precise 3D course mapping, distance tracking, and real-time data. One crucial aspect of maximising your app's functionality is configuring the location permissions on your iPhone correctly.
Having the right location permissions ensures that Open Tee can function optimally, delivering accurate distance measurements, mapping your location on the course, and improving your game strategy. Incorrect settings could result in improper data, affecting your experience and performance.
Permission Types:
Always Allow
Not a requirement but does make the app perform better in the background. For example if you switch apps or put your device to sleep then it can take a few moments to re-establish location.
Allow When in Use
Minimum needed for Open Tee to work correctly.
Precise Location
A requirement if you want accurate distances to the greens when out on the course. Approximate location will not provide GPS distances as we can't guarantee any level of accuracy.
FAQs
Will setting 'Always Allow' drain my battery?
While continuous GPS usage can impact battery life slightly, modern devices and apps are optimised to minimise this effect, balancing performance with power efficiency.
Can I switch back to a different setting?
Of course! You can adjust location permissions at any time by following the same steps and selecting a different option.
