Abstract
According to an exemplary embodiment, a distance measuring apparatus includes: a display unit and a sound output unit; a location acquiring sensor configured to acquire a current location; a slope sensor configured to measure a tilt angle; a distance measuring sensor configured to measure the straight line distance to a target; and a control unit configured to calculate a height of the target by using the tilt angle and the straight line distance, to calculate an attack distance by using a relationship between the height of the target, a landing angle, and the attack distance, and to output the attack distance to at least one of the display unit and the sound output unit.
