Abstract

A virtual gaming device (101) can include a transceiver (102) for wireless communication, a global positioning receiver (104) or other wireless positioning device coupled to the transceiver, a display (106), and a processor (114). The processor can be programmed to store a map of a game course including a plurality of locations for fixed game elements such as race course waypoints, mark (502) positions or time of a competitive article as it is being played relative to the map, and transmit (506) and receive information derived from the marked positions to and from a selected number of wireless devices. The stored information about the marked positions or times of the competitive article and the map is used to render (504) an image on the display representing a player in a position facing a heading based on a subsequently stored location of the marked position or time of the competitive article.
