Apparatus and method for simulated gameplay based on a geospatial position

A method comprising:

• receiving, from a position sensor included in a terminal device, a geospatial position of the terminal device;
• receiving, from a memory, image data corresponding to one or more golf courses, wherein the image data is received when the circuitry determines that the geospatial position of the terminal device corresponds to a current golf course, of the one or more golf courses;
• controlling, by circuitry, a display such that the image data corresponding to the current golf course is output on the display;
• receiving, by the circuitry, a simulated shot input representing a simulated golf stroke taken at the geospatial location of the terminal device;
• calculating, by the circuitry, a simulated shot trajectory based on the simulated shot input;
• and
• controlling, by the circuitry, the display to output a result of the simulated golf stroke.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored therein that when executed by one or more processors, cause a terminal device to perform a method comprising:

• receiving, from a position sensor included in the terminal device, a geospatial position of the terminal device;
• receiving, from a memory, image data corresponding to one or more golf courses, wherein the image data is received when the circuitry determines that the geospatial position of the terminal device corresponds to a current golf course, of the one or more golf courses;
• controlling a display such that the image data corresponding to the current golf course is output on the display;
• receiving a simulated shot input representing a simulated golf stroke taken at the geospatial location of the terminal device;
• calculating a simulated shot trajectory based on the simulated shot input;
• and
• controlling the display to output a result of the simulated golf stroke.
