No GPS

Former Member over 4 years ago

I have tried all the updates and workarounds suggested here. My Garmin Approach S62 was bought on 17.6.20 for Amarican Golf and it has stopped picking up and GPS signal. I have left is searching for satellites for an hour with still no joy. I have updated the software to 2.80 and followed al the instruction but still no joy. Is this an ongoing issue with the S62. I had an S60 for 18. months which worked beautifully but very disappointed with the new watch. Any advice would be much appreciated

Please make sure you are directly plugging your new Approach S62 into your computer and fully updating the device software and the 41,000+ golf courses installed. We are not seeing any pattern of GPS issues…

I am sorry you are having issues with your Approach S62. Given Garmin Express is giving you the error, it suggests you have your Approach S62 registered across multiple accounts/different emails between the Golf/Connect Mobile APPS on your smartphone and the Garmin Connect account being signed into using Garmin Express.

Please reach out to your regional Golf Product Support so we can resolve your issues.
