That is an interesting point made about picking your own VS using other's data.
The GolfTraxx model is that everyone relies upon each other’s maps so that everyone maps the best courses for everyone and themselves. Rather than just mapping the bunker you hit as a slicer, a GolfTraxx user will map all the hazards and targets in the line of play. GolfTraxx brings local course knowledge to every user, not just the single person who mapped a course. For example, a blind bunker (one behind a hill close to the green) that is not seen from the fairway, may be known by locals, but not by the casual or new player. A GolfTraxx user will map this for everyone to use. That IS the point of GolfTraxx - map for yourself AND the community.
Where this gets very enjoyable is the Golfer who travels. They can check to see if anyone has mapped the course, and if so load the data and be ready to play without having to map a course that they may never play again.
Based on the process of manually entering described earlier, I have to say that mapping using the PC, sending courses in via email as KMLs, and being able to download courses via BIS or BES seems to be a bit easier than BBGolf. GolfTraxx users can get course data on their device no matter where they are in the world, GolfTraxx is in a different class of application. I do not mean to say better, but definitely different in its execution to the same goal.
