General
TeeDroid is both an on course caddy and golf game statistics tool as well as an online community designed for golfers. The mobile application displays distances to front, middle, and back of the green as well as an unlimited number of landmarks. The mobile application also tracks statistics and posts them to the TeeDroid servers for review through the TeeDroid.com website.
Subscription
TeeDroid premium services is the mobile caddying application, a years subscription gives you access to the application including network access. You get access to the latest version of the mobile software with no additional fees (exception original cost of application sold through 3rd party stores)
Yes, access to TeeDroid.com does not require a subscription to premium services, and you can continue using the website after your subscription has expired.
There are 2 main circumstances for free trials:
  1. The software is sold directly through TeeDroid, some 3rd parties cannot handle free trials, and
  2. The phone models have compatability issues because of Provider restrictions or platform versions.
Mobile Caddy
TeeDroid Mobile Golf Caddy currently has released versions for Blackberry Phones of the following models: Pearl/8100, Curve/8300, 8800, Bold/9000; as well as iPhone 3G. We will soon release versions Android phones.
Blackberry
Once you have completed playing a round select Post/Finish round from the round screen menu - this will post the round to the server
You have 2 main options:
1) Hold down Alt key - and click back key (right of trackball) select the program to switch to from list, or
2) Click the hangup button to go to home screen - this does not exit the running application just returns you to home.
When the Blackberry application starts up it tries to acquire satellites - GPS satellite signal is very weak so if you are indoors or in urban jungle (tall buildings surround you) it is possible your phone cannot get enough satellites in view to calculate location. (TeeDroid requires satellites because they are accurate enough for golf, cell tower triangulation has errors greater than 100 meters/yards.)
Verizon has decided to block access to GPS for 3rd party developers on certain models of their phones. We are currently working with Verizon to get TeeDroid approved. In the mean time you can use a bluetooth GPS receiver/puck with your Verizon phone. Sorry for the inconvenience.
iPhone
The iPhone version is now available on iTunes app store.
When you start a round in TeeDroid be sure to turn off live online scoring (posts each stroke to server in real time), you can also turn off WiFi and 3G as these drain your battery quick as well.
To advance to the next hole, set the tee box where ever and mark your first shot "in the hole". Once you're done, just delete the round. Don't post the round to the server or it will screw up your stats. In the future we'll provide an official way to do this.
Don't turn your device off unless you're going to have about 45 seconds to let the GPS reboot before hitting your next shot (like if you're waiting for a group ahead of you). The program will turn the screen off as soon as you put it in your pocket while in a round. To see this, start a round and cover the top part of the device (the screen will go off immediately).
Course Mapping
Courses can be mapped 2 ways:
1) Using Google Earth - a satellite mapping program (free - by Google), or
2) using the Mobile Caddying application
Yes, TeeDroid Mobile Caddy supports an unlimited number of landmarks per hole/course. Landmarks come in 3 flavors, Single Point, Reach/Carry, and Area (4 corners + center), and can include a description.
Yes you can submit course mappings online using this: request course form. Anyone can request a course to be mapped. For non-members we ask you leave your email address so that we can notify you once mapping is complete.
