DGCR Mobile

[timg]

I've finally put together a little something for all you PDA/mobile phone people out there. The course directory is now available in a mobile format for easier viewing on what I hope is any device with a small screen.

http://www.dgcoursereview.com/mobile

It's not as feature packed as the actual web course directory but I've included all the info I felt was important to have on the road and the search options are also scaled down but the important stuff is there.

Check it out and let me know what you think.

[colodiscgolfer]

Awesome, will do that right now and let you know how it goes!

[timg]

Forgot to mention, the default sort for courses is by rating and the default for the reviews is by helpfulness. I figured that would make things faster for people looking things up on the road.

[colodiscgolfer]

Looks great, was easy to navigate through the pages. Much easier than the standard site. The only suggestion I have right now is to include the files/uploads link so you can get course maps on your phone too.

[RussMB]

Arrrgh! If I'd only have known that a couple of hours ago! I sat in a waiting room for 2 hours, waiting to get new tires! Sweet, I'm on my way to check it out now!

[WindyCityROCer]

SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's a good idea. I'll have to add that although a lot of course maps are PDFs or really large JPGs.. would those even work on a lot of phones?

[gcoghill]

Excellent work Tim, working great on iPhone 3G. Suggestion: have the map zoom default to the furthest out zoom, as-is it seems to be at the max or at least too far in to make heads or tails of where it is.

Hoping the scorebook is on it's way now that you're going mobile :)

[Technohic]

I will check on my BB probably tomorrow night while at my sons soccer practice. I would do it now, but it is painful to me using the browser on that thing so may as well do it when I normally am anyway.

[timg]

I changed the zoom level to a bit farther out. I'm not sure how the really basic phones handle logins and what not (I have no way of testing any of this stuff). I actually thought about the scorebook today.. if I do feel ambitious enough to tackle that at some point I'm thinking it'll be a case of doing basic scorekeeping on your phone and then you submit it to your mobile queue on the site where it will sit until you get to a computer to finish up the scorecard with details like tee played, weather, etc.

And George, you'll be so proud. I posted this update on Facebook which also updated my Twitter. I'm so Web 2.0 it's sick! :D

[Dave242]

I noticed the new mobile link at the bottom of the main page moments and was going to post about it....but this thread was just started. This is awesome Tim! Sweet! Thanks!

I have a windows mobile phone and I can handle pdfs and large jpgs well.

Another suggestion is to somehow link the gps coordinates straight into Google Maps Mobile.

Also, the thumbnail size course pictures are too small to see.

I have a basic static map.. I can't get to the mobile google site using a regular web browser and I don't have a phone that can do much besides make calls so I'm kind of stuck. I did try :)

Yeah if we could just enter strokes, see hole par & round totals, I'd be a happy camper. Glad to do the rest on the main site. Even just entering strokes would be fine to start with.

I knew I'd sucker you into social media eventually :) Just trying to get as much visibility for DGCR as possible ;)

[Dave242]

Cool - thanks for trying. It is easy enough to copy from DGCR and paste into Google Maps, so no big deal.

I did notice the static map and the yahoo maps directions generator, but those are a little cumbersome (yes, we are spoiled!).

[ovar]

I use a windows mobile phone and at first I was unable to access anything on the site. I started using a java based browser (Opera Mini) and it works great. I am able to access every feature of the site including course map, scorebook, linked files, etc. This was before timg created the mobile course directory. So if its not working get Java and Opera on you phone PM me if you have any questions.

[billnchristy]

Aww man, was hoping it was about the DGCR mobile...kind of like the weiner mobile...,a vehicle built around DGCR.

[gcoghill]

I just tested a Google Maps link that will open the Maps app on the iPhone, and it's formatted like this: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&q=41.199852,-81.440445

Not sure how this will work on Blackberry or Windows Mobile, maybe someone here can test.

Added a files page to the mobile directory.

True.. better then nothing though :) I'd have to use those on my not so hi-tech phone (assuming I had a data plan) so I guess they serve a purpose.

That looks like a pretty standard Google Maps link. Maybe they redirect on their end based on browser detection?

[gcoghill]

Here's some info on getting KML files to open on the Maps app on the iPhone:

http://groups.google.com/group/kml-support-server-side-scripting/browse_thread/thread/428e2cd355e151ec

Tim would need to add some code, not sure how much work it would all be. Just passing along the info.

Yeah I think the iPhone web browser auto-detects.

I tried that link on my windows mobile (v6.2) and it took me to a browser-based/static map rather than the mobile app. That makes sense since windows mobile behaves very similarly to windows.

[gcoghill]

genius, this would be greatness....

iPhone max pixel dimensions are 480×320. Anyone using a Blackberry or Windows Mobile etc. phone, let us know what size screens you have. Maybe we can find a sweet spot for everyone, and post some guidelines for anyone wanting to create these scorecard JPGs.

I'll even work up a template map in Adobe Illustrator (vector art) format and link for download. I'll create some basic basket icons and a color scheme, and anyone wanting to tweak for their courses can use the file. Basically just need to create something that reads well at the target size.

I can export the .ai file to other formats for use with open-source vector editors as well (SVG or whatever you guys need).

[JR Stengele]

Great idea! Sucks when you are in a new area and have to find a public library to get access to where some local courses are. Much easier now!

[gcoghill]

Check this quickie map on your mobile browser. Looks great on iPhone, and sized to fit the Photos app perfectly: http://bit.ly/67YRI - obviously view in landscape mode :)

I bumped up the sizes to make it as readable as possible without zooming. Let me know how it looks and if all makes sense at first glance.

Curious how it looks on other phones.

[Dave242]

I have an AT&T Tilt (HTC tytnII) - screen resolution 240X320. Windows Mobile.

This picture only fits zooming to 50%. Readable and functional at that size.

I made similar maps for the Charlotte courses: http://www.charlottedgc.com/images/sugaw/sugaw_18.jpg (800x617)

How do those work? (it works fine at 50% zoom for me) I always like to put the hole lengths on the maps since signage is often lacking on the course.

[gcoghill]

When you say "zooming to 50%", can you elaborate?

[Dave242]

I use Opera for a browser and it allows you to zoom in and out. Also the photo viewer does.

If I do not zoom out, the picture is ~4x the size of my screen so I do not seen enough of the image for it to be useful, and I have to pan too much and that's a hassle. At 50%, those problems are not a hassle and the map is readable.

Zoomimg to 25% gets the whole image on the screen, but it is too small to be readable (my browser frame takes up around 15-20% of the screen to begin with).

[vonDrehle]

I have a Blackberry Tour with Verizon and everything worked great. I went to the Glen C Hilton info page and looked at maps and images and didn't have any problems.

[Greg Layton]

Ugh, I really don't want to buy one of those fancy iphones, but this sure would be convenient. You're killing me, Tim.

Aha. Yeah the image I uploaded is quite large (so it can be zoomed in and not lose quality) but maybe it's too large. I will have to play with the size, I think I exported it at 3x or 4x the size of the max iPhone screen size. Maybe a 2x would suffice.

On iPhone the images auto-resize to fit the browser window, and form there you can zoom in/out as you please. Good to know about the Opera behavior.

One thing I often am using my phone for is when I have more time on a trip than I expect, so I want to look for the courses near the one I'm already at. Is there any way we could have the nearby courses links somewhere in the mobile version?

Thanks so much for doing this Tim, it's awesome to have a mobile version of the site!

[Dave242]

At 75% zoom in landscape mode in the browser it fits perfectly (no scrolling needed) and is readable.

[gcoghill]

Very cool, thanks. Looks like 200% scale to the iPhone dimensions works well for at least 2 phones. Going to work on some local maps when I get some time. Actually not too difficult to work up if I have an existing map to base it on (arial map w/baskets & tees marked) so if anyone has a list of some of the bigger or more popular courses that could benefit most from these, let me know.

[Usher]

Also, it does have the Lat/Long on there but I think that is it easier to use (at least for my GPS) for them to be in decimal form.

39.858950, -105.018800(Decimal) vs. 39° 51' 32" N, 105° 1' 7" W(Degree)

My car only lets me put in lat/lon in DMS format and I think most GPS units that allow decimal will let you put it in using DMS (I know Garmins do) which is why I went with that format.

I thought about adding both but didn't want to clutter things up too much. Also, nearby/onsite courses are in.

[Raider Dave]

AWESOME!!! I was waiting for this..... This is becoming one classy site! I have learned so much here. Thanks Tim and everyone who contributes! I own a BB Storm and am so jazzed about this! WTG

Tim,

Chalk up another preference for decimal GPS coords. But you're the king so if you can only use DMS I can live with it.

Also, the default search on the mobile page includes extinct courses. I'm thinking it's better for them to be excluded in mobile searches, especially since the mobile page for them has no indication that they are extinct.

Removed the extinct courses.. didn't realize that was happening. I'll look into the decimal thing and see if I can squeeze it in somehow.

this is freaking sweet tim! Great job, as ussual.

[Cnote]

Works awesome! Thanks for setting this up....it will make road trips much easier, and enjoyable.

I have no idea how hard it would be, or if it is even possible, but it would be great if there was a "find course near current location" search. Although the zip code search is easy enough.

Thanks for all the hard work....I love this site.

(Trying not to sound too spoiled...) For those of us that don't have internet on our phones, but would still love the portability feature. Any thoughts on a self-contained download with this same info? Way back when the old PDGA course directory had a Palm download. Maybe something similar... (I know, asking for the moon here, especially when it's only a matter of time before everyone has internet on the phone/car/wrist/etc...)

I'm curious: what device would you download the device to? What format would it be in?

[Miller]

Well, I have a WinMo phone, but I could see an iPhone app too. Basically just a searchable database that has directions, course description, maybe a map.

[Mr Mirth]

Tim, that's excellent work.

Thanks much!

[gcoghill]

Well, I have a WinMo phone, but I could see an iPhone app too. Basically just a searchable database that has directions, course description, maybe a map.

So no data plan on the WinMo phone? What format would the database need to be in to be accessible on your phone?

The iPhone app is a whole other beast. I am actually looking into developing iPhone apps, reading a primer book on it now. If it looks like something I can do, I'll be talking to Tim about stuff ;)

[Miller]

I'm not a programmer, so this may be way harder than it sounds, but I would think some little self-contained executable that basically lets you search through a database. The database file could then be updated as needed. I know the more I type the more it seems like a pipe-dream. Oh well...

Same here. Even a CSV file. I would think any spreadsheet program could open that and hopefully any of those programs across all the PDA's out there would have a find'search function to find the course you're looking for or the ability to sort by ZIP, State, etc.

Another thought for the mobile functionality wishlist (dream list?): The scorebook function on an easy and clean interface would be sweet!

I would record my scores if I could very easily and quickly do it as I went (I never have the time or interest in doing the data entry when I am home in front of a PC).

It's something I'd like to do but if/when it gets done I think it will still require you to come to the site to "approve" the scorecard and fill in the missing details (tee played, etc.) and then you could officially submit it to your scorebook. There is a ton of javascript involved with the scorebook and I'm guessing a lot of phones might not like that so a basic mobile scorecard with no frills would be good to just get the important details.

[Dave242]

Cool! You could pull the weather conditions real time from weather.com (and the time/date) and autopopulate if you knew the scores were being updated by the real-time. :)

[ERicJ]

That's a really slick idea. You know the course zip code + date/time entered into the scorebook... even if you're not entering scores real-time you still fill in the date/time later, it'd be slick if the weather conditions auto-populated (with the option to override them if need be).

I consider you above most Mensa members for what you have done by creating this site. :D

[nosajeel99]

Lately, I have been using just the regular scorebook page on my iPhone while I play. The iPhone works well with the javascript and I can fill in the entire form from my phone. It is really nice to be able to submit my score and putts immediately and not have to go back and re-enter information somewhere else. There is only one catch:

When I click on a text box, it brings up the regular keyboard. I have to hit the "1,2,3" button to bring up numbers and then click my score. I do this twice for each hole (score and putts). This isn't at HUGE deal, but I have been on some forms online where the text box automatically brings up numbers.

I am not sure if there is a way to specify a text box to make it number only (and then, I am not sure how the iPhone would read it). If I can find a website that does have one of these text boxes, I will write it down and post it here so Tim can view source and see what they did.

Just a little suggestion to make the current scorebook page more iPhone friendly with little (hopefully) work.

[Greg Layton]

I bought an Iphone last night. Can't wait to get out next spring and play with it while I'm on the road. It'd be nice to be able to input scores directly to DGCR using the mobile site, too.

I'm not sure how that works with phones. I'm not cool enough to have a phone with web access :( I know iphone's have a full featured browser but I'm not sure about more basic phones so I tried to keep it as simple as possible (ie. nothing that requires logins).

[justin]

I've read most of this thread so I hope I'm not bringing something up which was previously discussed.

I hate that I can't put in a city and state and get the closest courses. Of course it works fine if you're in a town which has a course but you have to know the ZIP code if you want the closest out-of-town courses.

I'm on Windows Mobile 6.0 runing IE but I can't imagine this is unique to my browser.

That said, I love the mobile site.

[timg]

You can click the "Find a zip code" link on the mobile site to get the zip code of the town you're interested in from the USPS. It's more efficient that way since I don't have a db to match towns to lat/lons or zips and even if I did I'd imagine most of the smaller towns wouldn't be in there.

I've finally put together a little something for all you PDA/mobile phone people out there. The course directory is now available in a mobile format for easier viewing on what I hope is any device with a small screen.

Check it out and let me know what you think.

This is FANTASTIC, I just started going different places and just the ability to see some of the stuff I read before leaving is a great bit of help. Especially the simple directions and stuff. Like I went to Basil and Baker the first time within a week of eachother...a month later I was like "wait...which one do I get on to 390 for???"

Bookmarked on my Verizon BlackBerry Storm. Love it.

That's a good idea. I'll have to add that although a lot of course maps are PDFs or really large JPGs.. would those even work on a lot of phones?

Mine will.

And at least on iPhone, JPG images can be saved to the photo library as well.

Might be a nice project for us members, creating mobile-friendly map .jpg images for courses…

That would be FANTASTIC. I never though I'd like course maps...then I wen to Parma...FANTASTIC COURSE..but without a map your first play is going to be whacked out and you still probably won't play it right..

Added a files page to the mobile directory.

I'll try this out when I'm bored at work tonight.

Great idea! Sucks when you are in a new area and have to find a public library to get access to where some local courses are. Much easier now!

I never went that far, but that's because I was in my home region or had somebody near a home computer to call..

Check this quickie map on your mobile browser. Looks great on iPhone, and sized to fit the Photos app perfectly: http://bit.ly/67YRI - obviously view in landscape mode :)

BlackBerry Storm: Worked PERFECT. I actually just emailed myself the link so I could just open it in my browser. No problems.

Aha. Yeah the image I uploaded is quite large (so it can be zoomed in and not lose quality) but maybe it's too large. I will have to play with the size, I think I exported it at 3x or 4x the size of the max iPhone screen size. Maybe a 2x would suffice.

On iPhone the images auto-resize to fit the browser window, and form there you can zoom in/out as you please. Good to know about the Opera behavior.

BlackBerry behaves just like your iPone in this regard :)

Thank you so much Tim!

Hey lookie there! Thanks Tim. Can you tell me where my keys are too? :p

But seriously, I'm sorry I didn't see that and appreciate your fixing my brain.

( What would be really awesome is DGCR mobile scorecard, I tried to make it work on my Blackjack with the desktop version of DGCR but failed. But if the mobile version had an electronic scorecard I could update on the course and review at the end of the round it would eliminate the need for me to print a scorecard, and it would just be awesome because it would update my profile as I play! )


I just posted this on Facebook and then read this thread, I see its been mentioned a few times already. I dont typically carry a scorecard when Im out, so when I upload my score to DGCR its usually just the Final because Ive forgotten the details, but I always have my phone on me and updating an electronic Scorecard would be easy. The benefit I see is being able to see how I do on a specific hole over time, that would be cool!

[harr0140]

Something seemed to get a lot better with DGCR on my phone recently but I do not know what to attiibute it to. the formatting seems better and I can see some things that were hidden before.

[mashnut]

Might have been an update to the browser on your phone that handles the site better, it hasn't changed on my phone browser at all.

[timg]

Added geolocation to the mobile site. Now you can load it up and click "Courses Near Me" to get a list of courses near your current location.

I'm going to slowly try to improve the mobile site as I find time to do so. Eventually I hope to have scoring running through there but that isn't something that'll happen in the next week but one day... :)

The mobile "near me" is returning extinct courses... probably want to filter those out.

Thanks, fixed it.

Pretty cool! Nice job Tim.

Added the ability to zoom in and navigate larger course photos on the mobile site. Also tweaked review navigation a bit so you can go back to the review list without hitting the mobile course page first.

tim. this is the WORST disc golf site on the internet.... and by "worst" of course i mean "best" :) kudos for your hard work!

What about adding hole info to the courses? I love having the distance for holes at my fingertips... Any chance?

[timg]

I'll add it at some point. I want to really beef up the mobile site when I have time.

[pchitti]

Sweet, good to hear.

I am not seeing the "near me" lookup for courses . . . I see it on my computer but not my mobile phone . . . i tried clearing the cache and i still cannot see it . . . it just says Regular as the tab where the Near me should be

harr - did you allow the site to use your location? I had to do that on my android.

Hadn't played with the mobile site in awhile. Looks good! Works great with my iphone! I just added the link to my homepage, so now I'm good to go! I use the PDGA app for my scores.

[pchitti]

to bad the pdga didnt do an Android app.

I just bought the new Samsung Android and the mobile site works great on this phone. I downloaded a map in pdf format and was able to view it with no problems. This makes my road trips much easier.
Another great job, Tim!

All I need is to be able to mark a course as played from the mobile site.

anyone know how to use the mobile map with a blackberry...it says to touch the screen to zoom in on courses nearby, but blackberry isnt touch screen. and i cant scroll the map to zoom in on different areas. it just zooms to one area in the middle of the US

You might be SOL without a touchscreen device.

[hognosesucker]

cool, i can still search by zip so that helps, it's not quite as convenient as the map though :)

[BRW33114]

Need the Blackberry Torch touch screen. :)

[Benttreedg]

where do i download the app for android?

[mashnut]

No app, just a mobile friendly version of the site here (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/mobile)
