Forerunner 965 golf gps problem

Andyw 10 months ago

I use my watch predominately for running and it works perfectly. However when I use it for the golf, the gps stops working after a few holes and it no longer gives out any yardages. I have to restart the watch to wake up the GPS to get it working again.

Any ideas/ recommendations.

are you on the beta? My experience is the latest beta fixes this.

I also reloaded all the maps through Garmin Express.

I've had the same problem. When new it seemed to work perfectly, but more recently the GPS seems to lock. Pausing the round and restarting seemed to reactivate it for a bit, however, that's been needed several times each round. In swimming, biking, running or hiking I have no such issues.

Currently there isn’t a beta release available.

I have the same problem on my 965. Did not have the problem on my old 955

I have the same problem with my 965. Pause and restart several times a round. Super frustrating. Any fixes?

I’m on beta 20.xx and my golf app on my watch stopped today. I used gps only today. Previously I had tried other gps combinations.
