Problem: There is no GPS data for the selected golf course. • Confirm mapped GPS points were saved prior to exiting the Map Course page.
Troubleshooting Problems / Suggested Solutions Problem: There are “not enough satellites”. • Move to a clear, unobstructed view of the sky (i.e. no trees, buildings or objects that might interfere with GPS satellite strength). • The time required to acquire satellites may increase to 5-10 minutes for first use or if the neo+ has not been used for an extended period of time. Problem: The distances the neo+ displays seem inaccurate.
