Garmin Golf App

A couple of questions. 

1. With all of the course mapping Garmin has done, why does the Garmin golf app not provide interactive yardages to hazards or other aim points when playing?  This would be incredibly helpful.  

2. I've found that when connecting the Garmin golf app with my Garmin Z30 range finder, if my phone screen goes to sleep mode, the range finder no longer shows the yardages to the front and back of the green.  Is this a known issue or user error?

  • For (1) I would really suggest Bushnell Golf as it is high resolution (not cartoon graphics like Garmin) and has GPS interaction. Then for

    (2) I would suggest checking the power settings of the application and make sure it is allowed to run in the background

    I use Bushnell for an overhead view of the hole at the start and if I need to check hazards on approach and how much space I have for a miss.
