In conjunction with the changes to the Rules of Golf effective January 1, 2016, specifically the Local Rule permitting the use of distance-measuring devices under Rule 14-3, the USGA and The R&A are providing recommendations to assist manufacturers and developers of laser rangefinders, GPS devices, mobile GPS applications and other electronic Distance-Measuring
Devices (DMDs).

If you are considering using a DMD you should be aware of the need for a Local Rule to allow for these. Each club / torunament can define there own Local Rule  In addition, please be aware that some mobile apps are illegal to use.

Here is the notice to device Manufactures which is interesting to read for clarity.
“Questions will arise if permitted and prohibited functions are not effectively separated on the device.”
