Enhanced course view maps not loading

I can’t get enhanced course view to work on S50 despite having a Garmin golf membership. Membership shows up in my profile on the phone, have tried Express to update the watch and still no updated images. Any advice?

    Ensure the Garmin Golf app is open on your phone with the Approach S50 synced when starting the round of golf on the Approach S50.

    When starting the round on the watch, GPS to fully load vs skipping and then once the watch has acquired satellites, select the course you are playing with the Golf app opened and you will see the prompt on the watch showing enhanced maps downloading in progress. Once the download is completed it will switch your screen on the watch back to selecting the tee box. Then you will see the maps showing the full layout of each hole on-screen. 

    If you continue to have concerns, contact Garmin Support to walk through the process to further determine solutions.

    Not so far. Apparently it's with their engineers. I have re installed courses and reset the watch all to no success.

    They are replying regularly atm so hopefully some joy soon.

    Thanks very much, I do appreciate your reply.  I am going to try calling them today and will hope for the best.  Very annoying.

    Checking in if you have a solution? Still no joy on my side. I'm also having issue with music players not connecting.

    Yes I did get it fixed.  I called the Garmin support line, we tried a few things and got it working.  Unfortunately, I honestly don't remember what exactly we ended up doing that worked.  One issue was that we had to download the Garmin GOLF app, we had downloaded another Garmin app, but even after doing that it took a couple of tries.  We also updated the software online with the agent, I remember.  But it now definitely works, so my suggestion is to call them again and push the issue.  Good luck, I know how frustrating this can be.

    We appreciate your patience in the meantime as we work towards a solution for the concern! 

    Thank you,
