I have been using the R10 for a couple days now and my distances seems way off. Seems very club is approx 20yards short from the range? Is there anything that needs to be done with calibration?

I'm a new owner couple days. Every club is ridiculously short. On real course I bomb 250 on bad hits....I struggle to get 180yds reading. All the irons seem like they are read like an 8I. Can't get…
Similiar problem for me, been using for a couple of days and all clubs are only recording 2/3 distance, checked the setup with a tape measure and spirit level and still the same problem. I have tried inside…
I want to love this thing had such high hopes and as is has become an enormous let down.
I contacted support and told them I had done everything suggested and nothing worked. They sent me a return label and will send out a replacement as soon as thy receive my unit. Hope it works fingers crossed.
Yep same here, my label is on its way but it looks like I'll have to wait a month for the replacement due to lack of available stock.
15 pages so far, but only on this thread. Look at the others, then the page count goes. Perhaps comments on the YouTube videos like “Let’s Play Thru” and other ones gushing over this turkey where we all give everyone in the market place the “real” review might help expedite improvements.
This is a newer one. Some of the numbers are REAL bad in this 3 way comparison of launch monitors.... be patient at first the short irons look great then as the clubs get longer it gets worse and worse some at 50yds differences on R10.

Update Golf Courses and Device Software on an Approach | Garmin Support
Well holy cow what timing I just got done whining. LOL TY Garmin Rob
awesome! Thanks, I will give it a go and report back if I can.
this software update is a firmware update, when will will there be an update for the Golf App Software for iPhone, etc?
look what I found: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1062791818/alignment-stand-for-garmin-approach-r10?ref=shop_home_active_2
someone made a stand for the Garmin that allows for squaring the unit with an alignment stick. I ordered one andI'll see if that helps
I can report definite increase in driver distance with new firmware. Old average was around 260, which wasn't far off from actual. New average is >270.
I'm waiting on Garmin to ship my replacement. While waiting I'm hanging on to my old unit incase a software update is the fix. I tried upgrading the firmware to 3.60 just now. unfortunately I'm not seeing any improvements. reads are just way low. like 20% - not 2 clubs as the gap gets bigger as I go up in clubs. 8i still going PW distance, 4Hybrid still going 7i distance, etc. Unfortunately it seems those of us getting replacements were placed at the end of the order queue. so who even knows if I'll get my replacement before the snow flies. :(
edit: not sure if this post had anything to do with it, or if it's a coincidence. within 24 hours of posting, Garmin shipped my replacement unit. I will get it tomorrow and test it out. Hopefully the next one works.
