We are always adding new courses. We recently made sure that all 25 of GolfLink's "Best Mississippi golf courses" are available for use in Free GPS Golf.

New Version Posted!
We have posted a new version of the FreeGPSgolf rangefinder application for your Blackberry Smartphone. Some major improvements include:
1. Better layout for the screen that shows the yardage (especially for smaller screen sizes like the Pearl). See the screenshots on the non-handheld version of www.freegpsgolf.com
2. Enhanced GPS connectivity (the application should handle low signal situations like trees or clouds overhead better).
3. Significantly faster map load times. You may notice a slight delay when the course first loads since we start to pre-load the map images.
4. A better way to report any incorrect yardages. Occasionally courses will change the hole configuration. This will help us update the yardage mapping faster.
To quickly get this new version, point your Blackberry browser to http://www.freegpsgolf.com
This version should let you just download the new version without un-installing the existing application. During the download process, it will ask you if you want to "overwrite version 0.0 with version 0.0." This is because we are still in the beta release phase.
You can also go to the website from your desktop computer and have a download link emailed to your Blackberry email address.
As always, we are eager to get your feedback to help continue refining the app! We may not be able to help you hit your 9 iron 300 yards (you'll have to see Carl Spackler for that), but we can give you a precise distance to the green!

PS If you have problems replacing your current version, you will need to un-install the old application before installing the new one. Go to Options (looks like a folder with gears), then Advanced then Applications. Scroll down till you see FreeGPSGolf and then click the Blackberry button and select "Delete."
