The spin readings went from mostly measured in 4.3 to mostly estimated in 4.5. I get that 4.5 was launched to overcome the bugs you created with 4.4 which was as far as I can tell only launched tk add the stack system. So you introduced an update to a well working machine to allow a niche group of people to use stack system and basically reduced the accuracy of the spin numbers, which are crucial if you want to use it for face angle determination... A main use I need it for. It's really frustrating as I feel you've been told this several times over the last 5 months and still act like it's new news. Either you genuinely don't know and I fear your issue tracking solutions aren't up to scratch or you're just gaslighting, hoping we'll all go away.https://forums.garmin.com/outdoor-recreation/golf/f/approach-s70/442751/approach-s70-repeatedly-failing-to-finalise-saved-activities/2058995Tue, 01 Sep 2026 14:55:00 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:43eca0ce-581a-4cd8-903c-01ffdc28be246415614Please keep us updated.

However, there are a few aspects that felt lacking and could make the device even better if improved. Virtual Round Game Support It would be great if the G82 supported virtual round play. Being able to simulate a round before heading to the course would help in planning strategies more effectively. Limited Putting Data Currently, only putting tempo is displayed, but not the ball’s travel distance. Without distance feedback, it’s hard to practice putting properly. Showing ball movement distance would make putting practice much more meaningful. No Ball Direction Data There’s no way to know whether a shot resulted in a hook or slice. Directional data would be very helpful for correcting swing issues and improving practice efficiency. Overall, the G82 is strong in GPS and basic shot data tracking, but adding these features would make it a far more powerful tool for both practice and actual rounds. I hope future updates will address these points. There may be parts I misunderstood, so please let me know if any of the information I shared is incorrect.”https://forums.garmin.com/outdoor-recreation/golf/f/approach-s70/442889/cumberland-country-golf-course-nsw-australia-golf-course-update/2058409Sun, 30 Aug 2026 21:34:00 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:a5797af3-68b2-4782-9726-ed45e2464c6bShaneAMooreMy question is not how to request a new course - my club has done that.

You can see on the mini map that it should be 435 yards, but to the right it shows 590 yards. Definitely not correct. Here is also a pic from the tee view and it is 590 yards. I checked all 5 tee choices and they all play exactly the same yardage. They all play like the black tees. Garmin, please fix this. Phoenix Golf Resort (Dragon Course, Vietnam) looked really good, even with my cheap projector.
