Wind display have stopped working lately

I have had wind working fine in my Z82 as long as I have started the Garmin app, made sure I was logged in and ensured that app and range finder were connected. And it continued to work if I changed app or the phone locked.

Now, as soon as the Garmin app goes out of focus (switching app or, usually, the phone locks) the wind just becomes an exclamation mark in the display on the Z82

Based on your description, you are likely seeing the wind info no longer update due to your location permission settings for the Garmin Golf app. If you have the location permission set to "While using the app" it will only provide the Garmin Golf app with location while you have the open on the screen of your phone.

Check your app permissions for the Garmin Golf app and change the location permission to "always" to allow the app to provide the weather and wind information in the background while the screen on your phone is closed.
