Starting up the Visage VDU
When you turn on a unit, it will first go through a series of diagnostics. The screen will show a “booting up” message and
a progress indicator.
The Welcome Screen
After boot up is complete, the VDU will typically show a course’s “Welcome Screen.” The Welcome Screen is an ad the
course defines welcoming golfers to the course that displays when golf cars are near the clubhouse or in the staging
area.

The Golf Map Screen
The main screen that golfers will interact with is the Golf Map screen. This screen shows a map of the current hole and
yardages to hazards and other point of interest.
Flyovers
When golfers first reach a hole, they will see a a 3D flyover to help them plan their strategy for the hole. After the flyover
finishes playing, the screen will return to the golf map. Golfers can view the flyover again at any time by pressing the
“view flyover” button on the screen.

Distances
The Visage VDU uses GPS to calculate distances to hazards and other points of interest on the golf course. The
distances are measured by line-of-sight (or “as the crow flies”), and may differ from yardages given on your course’s
scorecard. Scorecard distances are typically measured by line-of-play, and so may be larger than the line-of-sight
distance.
Yards to Pin / Center of Green
In the upper corner of the screen, there is a large box that shows the yardage to the pin if the course has defined a pin
placement for that hole. If no pin placement is defined, the box will show the yardage to the center of the green, and the
Pin icon will be replaced with a Center of Green icon.

Navigation Panel
In the bottom corner of the screen, there is a navigation panel that allows golfers to access the main menu, view flyovers,
and zoom in or out on the hole. If an insert ad is defined for the hole, it will display in this spot. If no ad is defined, the
navigation panel will move the bottom of the screen.
Ads
During play, ads are shown in the corner of the screen. When you approach the green, you may see a full-screen ad. To
dismiss this ad, touch the screen anywhere.
Your car icon
Your position is shown on the screen with an icon of a golf car. Note that other golf cars’ positions are not shown.

Tee shot distances
After you hit your drive and move away from the teebox, Visage will display distances measured from your golf car back
to up to five teeboxes. This yardage can be used to help you determine the distance of your drive. This is shown in an
informational popup that appears at the bottom of the screen.
Car Ahead
On blind tee shots, the Visage VDU may warn the golfer that someone is in the driving area.
View the approach/hole
When you begin play on a hole, Visage first shows a “hole view,” or a map of the entire hole. As you approach the green,
Visage will automatically zoom in to a “green view.” The golfer can elect to zoom in to the green view or back out to the
hole view at any time by pressing the Zoom button on the screen.
