Locating Satelites Not Functioning after software update to 4.30

Hello team,

I have a problem with my S62 GPS function - Locating Satellites is not functioning properly (taking so long so I had to skip and manually choose the downloaded map) when I try to "Play Golf" at course, especially after the software update to 4.30. After I choose the course by skipping "locating satellites", my watch is able to show the distance from the pin though.

I've been using S62 for 2 years without any issues but it started to cause many issues like frozen, slower, sudden power off after update although I made sure to update Garmin Golf app and Garmin Connect.

For reference, to check GPS functionality, I tried "Set time with GPS" in System but it's not working either.

Would you please help me troubleshoot this most important function in S62?

Thank you team!

Update as of June 24, 2024:

Concerns related to the Approach S62 not acquiring satellites should now be resolved with the release of software version 5.0 now released at 100% to all S62 users.

Confirm the version in Settings > System > About is showing 5.0 for the software version directly on your device.

If you continue to have concerns with satellite acquisition please report or let me know via direct message so I can gather any additional info relevant to the issue.

System Software 4.40 is out. Will it fix the problem?

I have updated my watch to the new version 4.4. My Current EPO info does not change. It was always "CPE: Missing". The new update does not change it. Also the GPS watch can no longer find the courses near me. So I need help!

Can't find any satellite! I have updated my watch to the new version 4.4 multiple times using Garmin express. My Current EPO info always shows "CPE: Missing". The new update does not help. I think the proplem started since I updated to 4.3. Also the watch can no longer find the courses near me. So I need help!
