I realize I am much different than most golfers. I honestly, have never found navigation difficulties that frustrating. I am hardly ever in a time crunch, enjoy the hiking portion of the game and don't think I have ever walked off a course, unable to find the next hole. Shrug.....there are few things that I make a priority over golf. An app is far more likely to detract from my experience than add anything to it. Disc golf is my app.
I once got so lost that I ended up taking an Uber back to my truck. A tee sign was spun around and at the front of the tee box, so I tee'd off in the opposite direction. It was supposed to be a long hole with blind shots, so I didn't think much about my first 2 shots. From there, I had an approach shot thru a small gap that seemed close to what was shown on the tee sign. I nail the gap, then when I walk up to it, I see that I had thrown into a busy highway. I tried to backtrack, but I guess I took a different natural path and never made it back to the box. After about 10 minutes of walking, I found the highway. I then walked about a mile, trying to find a landmark. I ended up about 5 miles from my truck.
