I tried to reply in this thread but it seems to have been locked! Why would you want to stifle conversation like that?
Anyway, the problem remains. Go to play a round and it doesn't show the course. I have played there before, the course is loaded on the garmin connect app, but for whatever reason, it just tells me to download more courses using garmin connect. I've already done that.
I've found that restating the garmin or phone sometimes works. Also, starting another activity like a walk in the same vicinity seems to help the watch know where it is once it gets a GPS fix. But sometimes there is no option but to delete the course from garmin connect, restart both devices, download the course again, restart again and sometimes it shows up.
If there were a way to know the exact procedure, it could be a bug one could work around, but it's pretty annoying.
Which is why I asked if it were going to be fixed in the other thread before someone locked it. I don't understand Chris' reply saying the functionality remains the same, the functionality is broken.
