  since the cameras on the mini map lower right are frequently in the way when checking approach shot distance, why not display it next to the players name and score in the upper left?  i like to be preparing for my next shot while others are hitting, and it can be annoying with the camera right on top of my ball.

  Good call. I've had my avatar right behind it before, so I lost the game, when I timed out.

  I think you can see that already. On the minimap, click on your players ball and it should say how much left. Sometimes if the balls are too close to each other, you would not be able to see every distance, but once 1-2 left, you will

  i understand that.  you are missing my point.  the players balls are frequently obscured by the zoom cameras in the middle of the fairway. its often next to impossible to find them.  either that or move the zoom cameras to the side in the rough, where ones ball is less likely to reside. i dont need to see the camera in the fairway.  i know it points at the green or fairway landing area.

  I don't know if this will help you or not but in the options page there is a skycaddie aerial multi camera option to turn on or off. Set it to off and the cameras are gone form the mini map.

  I misunderstood too. I thought you were suggesting moving the map. I'd rather get rid of the cameras altogether, do real golfers get use of them?

  I understand. Right now it's not implemented and if/when it will be done, I don't know.
