    Does anyone use a ruler or some sort of device to fairly accurately measure how far they should play for a crosswind?  If so, what do you use and how does it work?

    Young46 uses one and it's probably exactly what you're looking for. Check out one of his videos to see it in action.

    Mentioned in another thread.

    I've always thought of the blue aiming triangle in the lower right (overhead view) to be 24 yds wide.

    Real timesaver on the tee.

    Dunno if you saw my late response, YJ.

    Yes, I did. Thanks. I'm trying to figure out how you use that. Blowing up the screen and using it for approaches, aiming off the mini-map?

    YankeeJim:

    Yep. No need to switch cams or anything. I don't zoom in. It's easy enough just to move the mini marker. One of the things I don't like about the mobile version. You can't move the aim in the overhead. 

    YankeeJim:
    using it for approaches

    Nope. Just off the tee or FW on a par 5. On approaches, I switch to behind the green cam and change to pitch to get it as precise as possible.
