R50 + GSPro -> Frequent Disconnects

(I'm starting a new thread for this issue. There's some discussion of it in a putting thread but it deserves it's own thread.)

A number of us are having issues while using the connector for the R50 and GSPro. We'll start a round and it will drop the connection after a variable number of shots. It can be reconnected by restarting the GSPro connection on the R50 but this takes a while and it may just drop the connection again.

I've played many rounds like this and invariably the R50 drops the connection at least a couple of times during the round.

Nobody has diagnosed what could be causing the issue. 

It would be great if we could hard-wire the R50 to the computer for the GSPro connection.

Hopefully Garmin will be able to fix this in a future update. Right now, this seriously hampers the playing experience.

  • I am disconnecting/re-connecting wifi before going into GSPRO to play and I have not had any disconnect issues the last few days.  I will try this with Awesome Golf next to see if it resolves the disconnect issues I have been having in there.  Thanks again for the tip.  Its unfortunate we have to do that to get 3rd party apps to work but I can deal with it
