Question to Upro owners!

Is there a way to back out of a coarse your playing to get back to main menu. The only way I've found so far is to turn it off and back on again.

Just press the menu (power button in the lower left) button a couple of times and you will get taken to the main menu.

Another "hidden" button that's cool is the VR button.

Say you're planning a strategy or just sitting on you couch the night before a round and you want to plot yardages around the course. GO to MODE and select PREVIEW. Go to the desired course and while on a hole hit the VR button (upper left on the side). This moves "you" around the course to various lay-up spots. Now you can use ANYPOINT to plot your way around the course before you play it.

It's great while watching a PGA event on TV. You can watch the tournament and plot out where a player is (SORT OF, but not too well) while sitting on your couch. You can see how far the corner is or a forced carry or get close to the Pro's yardage distance. It's not perfect but kind of a fun interactive way to watch a tournament. It's like Shot Tracker on PGAtour.com. Now go download Augusta National.

Yes, I just stumbled upon this accidently and called uPro to find out exactly what it did..

As stated, in PREVIEW mode pressing the VR will move you around the hole in different spots.

Using it in LIVE mode, will show you where you are on the course/hole (aka SMART VIEW).

Although VR stands for Voice Recognition (still not implemented), they are using that button for the time being. Per uPro customer service, they stated that when VR becomes active, you may need to hold down the VR button for at least 1 second to get to "SMART VIEW" but we'll see when it finally gets released.
