Z82 not staying to phone after connecting prior to start round, no wind info, and wrong greens distances (front/back)

NITOPR 9 months ago

Before starting round, Z82 and phone are paired and good, once you start playing it disconnects and doesn't provide wind info. Even after app shows connected, wind info still not displayed. When shooting distance, the pin distance is less than the front of the green.

Make sure to open the Garmin Golf app > Tap on the watch icon at the top of the opening app page > That will route to the Garmin Devices menu > Then tap the sync button.

When you exit out of the Garmin Golf app, make sure you to do not quit/stop the app from running in the background. The Garmin Golf app needs to be running in the background, with location permission throughout the round to provide the wind info. If the Garmin Golf app is not running, and if the user happens to go out of bluetooth range during a round of golf, the Z82 and the smartphone will disconnect...then will reconnect when back within range, but the app no longer has the sync to the watch to provide the data.
