My Golf Buddy Tour will not load and intall new courses and updates. I have deleted many courses to make room. What are my options?

Sorry I don't know. I had an issue with mine not acquiring satellites. I had to return it for another one.

It comes pre loaded with all courses on basic mood It has some courses in Utah I didn't reset it because it has the upgrade with the option to down load any course for free. You will have to call Callaway support to change user name and be able to log on but having the ability to download any course is worth it.

The watch is preloaded with many courses. I have only used the watch/GPS for 2 months. To date I have not had a reason to download any more courses (the watch has had all of the courses I have played).

Yes you do , if you want to get updates or buy courses you need to download.You just make your swing, or adjust your swing direction using a mouse, or pad on computer

Try using a flash drive instead. On a second machine or friend ask them to upload your driver to a flash drive.

I have never had to download any course, Any course I played is identified automatically and already preloaded.

Yes, this happened to me. I went to a small executive golf course in SE NH. I guess that some small out the way courses are not included in the 30,000 plus ones on the watch. I think you can add/update the watch by going online

via satellite I think... they must be pre loaded. Unlike my sky caddie, I don't have to load the course. When I get to the course and turn it on it lists the course name and asks if this is the one I want... I select yes and away we go.

I don't know what the golf buddy VT3 is, so I'm sorry I can't help you. If you go onto the golf buddy web site, you can contact them. They've been great about responding to my questions.

Our local course is not preprogrammed in. This course was rated one of the top 100 courses in the Magazine Golf Digest??? I don't know why it isn't there and can't be added via their website due to potential "Trojan virus".

I believe all US courses are loaded in non-Pro mode. None in Pro mode. And of course, because Callaway has discontinued their website, you can't load anything. I don't recommend this unit. I have this one and the old original uPro and I prefer the old one (even for the basic non-Pro operations). Nope this helps.

Make sure the GPS is charged. Press the top button and you will see go play. You will then have to chose the Country, the State and scroll down the alphabets to the course you are playing. Once you have the correct course on the screen then press that course and it will come up. This GPS system is a little more complicated than some others however I am counting on Callaway to stand by their product if there is a flaw with the product. Golf Buddy which I had before the Calloway GPS did not stand by their product so I changed and I am happy that I did.

Probably at Skygolf,com. They say they have loaded 30,000 courses. You can also live chat with them at their web site

My Golf Buddy has at least 35,000 courses pre-installed. I have yet to play a course that was not available on the GPS.

almost all courses are loaded. (40,000) Just show up at a course and turn it on. It will tell you if located.

I would say your golf courses are included. I really don't know if the 30,000 + golf courses are listed or not. I would just go to the golf course, turn on the Caddie and for sure that golf course will come up.

uninstall then reinstall. Also may want to look for updated drivers. Good Luck
