What it does
Touch Controls lets you run a round from a touchscreen at your PC while GSPro plays on your projector. It puts GSPro's buttons on the touchscreen. Each button presses GSPro's own key, and GSPro stays in front on the projector the whole time. You see the buttons from the phone remote's four pages, Play, Shot, View and Pad, side by side on one screen. Touch Controls runs on your PC alone. It doesn't need the internet, a phone or the phone remote. Touch Controls shows the buttons for the golf program that's running: GSPro, Infinite Tees, Pureplay, Muni Golf or ShotForge. The buttons change automatically when you start a different one. For Pureplay, the four groups are Play, Shot, View and Screen. For Muni Golf and ShotForge, the three groups are Play, Shot and View.
Before you start

- Touch Controls presses keys only in GSPro, Infinite Tees, Pureplay, Muni Golf or ShotForge, and only when that program is running. If another window is in front of the program, Touch Controls brings it forward first.
