I would like to be able to use golf pad as a cart GPS. My idea was to mount a tablet in my personal golf cart but golf pad currently lacks a landscape mode. I would like to see an option to show your current hole map overview along with your scorecard underneath in landscape mode. Or at minimum, landscape mode for the scorecard screen and map overview.

Hi Forrest! Golf Pad doesn't currently support live mirroring between devices, like a phone and a tablet, during a round. Also, iOS/iPadOS doesn't allow app screen mirroring between devices (like from iPhone to iPad). We do plan to add landscape mode support for iPad, which should make it more convenient to use the iPad as a cart GPS.

I have a question to piggyback on this....sort of.  This is the closest topic that fits the question.  If I am using the app on my phone, with my watch, can I also mirror the info on my tablet?  If the above is possible, could you use the tablet or the phone to make adjustments the fly to your score, as well as use it as a cart gps?  I hope this makes sense

Hi Cody! Thank you for the great suggestion! Using Golf Pad as a cart-mounted GPS is a fantastic idea. At the moment, Golf Pad doesn't support landscape orientation, but your feedback helps us understand how and why this feature would be valuable, especially for users with personal carts or larger devices. We've added your request to our feature tracker so the development team can consider it for a future update. While we can't promise a timeline, usability improvements like this are an important part of how we evolve the app.

Also to add for the map overview, automatically switch to green view once you are within a certain yardage from the hole.
