Hi all,
I just sent an email to Garmin ([email protected]) regarding this bug. Thought this is interesting for the forum as well. Here is the original email text:
Hi Garmin dev team,
I though I drop you a line as I really enjoy your app. The new driving ranges are really great to play with. However I found one bug the other day as I used the "Golf Sim" feature with my newly bought R10 (awesome device). So here are some details on the bug:
My System:
Android 12
Garmin Golf App version 2.8 (2 Sept 2022)
Bug description:
When I want to compare two clubs of the same type, say two drivers, I can define both in the "My Bag" section of the Garmin Golf App. After doing so I can also select either of both in the "Driving Range" within the "Golf Sim" feature and I get all the descriptive data of the clubs when I select them. However, when I afterwards analyze the session under "Golf Sim Sessions" I do see two driver symbols on the top of the screen (round purple circles with a D in them see screenshot), but I have no way of distinguishing the two drivers. Both are purple dots on the virtual driving range and the "CLUB LIST" stats get confused. Don't mind the actual distance numbers, these were lob wedge chips which I used to record the data to proof my point. Nevertheless only one driver shows up and I don´t know which. Also the stats are wrong. True there is one shot per driver, however the "Max Total", "Min Total" are wrong.
Anyhow it would be great to be able to compare two clubs of the same time. Not only for club comparison, say I test me "new" driver vs my "old driver", as I do now. Also this feature would be really great if you compare different balls with one club or make a competition between two people.
Additional feature requests:
These are some thoughts I wanted to send your way as I think the suggested small changes would really boost the usability of the otherwise great app.
Fix the bug described above as this currently limits the app substantially
Allow the user to choose the colors or symbols with which the clubs are displayed, for comparison.
Allow the user to choose the stats which are displayed in the "CLUB LIST" summary. You already allow customization in the "Driving Range" views where one can select which data to display. However, being able to look at Max/Avg values for important data fields like "Club Speed", "Ball Speed", "Carry/Total Deviation", "Smash Factor" and so on would be really valuable and enhance the user experience a lot. Maybe a "landscape view" option for more data display, where the standard "as is" view is kept, but when you put your phone in landscape mode, more stats are displayed.
I hope you find this info useful and look forward to hear from you in case you would like to "interact" on this report.
Best regards,
Alex
I let you all know if I get an answer from Garmin on that. This is obviously a bug in the current app version, not an omission of a feature or so.
Best,
Alex
