Go to the golf buddy site and update your Platinum GPS software. I do this to keep current as they do add new courses quite often.

I would suggest plugging the unit into your computer via the USB cable provided and re-download the course along with updating course information. If this does not work, contact Golf Buddy help on the Golf Buddy website.

While at the first tee, if it still shows 999, push the mode button (right hand lower button) and cycle through the three modes (if you have pro mode). That should straighten it out.

The hybrid range finder is good for 2-3 rounds of golf depending on wether you use the GPS. Anyway, if you don't have it charged up and the battery dies you our out of luck. Unlike some other units, its an internal battery you can't swap out easily. That said, its not a must have item.

First of all make sure your unit is set to "yards" not meters (under Settings menu). If the unit successfully locates satellites and finds your course, most accuracy issues are related to the course map itself, not the unit. If that's the case all you would need to do is contact IZZO and have them update the course map. Then you sync a new course map database to your unit via their website.

Not to the flag but middle of the green. Depending on the course there are some margin of error. If you can it may be helpful calibrating with laser range finder.

Yes! Click the mode button a few times until you get to "distance" not "steps." It shows to the second decimal place.

You can only go up (1, 2, 3, 4,) and you can reset. I use it for golf to count my strokes. Cannot count down.

You have to touch the distance button, it will give you distance to center of green from where your standing

I didn't find it hard at all. That said all of our Now Boards are mounted to the ceiling. If you have them on a table and the table gets bumped that will force you to recalibrate. There is another possibility. Check the resolution setting of your computer. Often times it is set way to high. In the materials there is a maximum setting for your computers resolution which is 1024X768 if you go higher than that calibration can be a chore.

We have had ours since this summer and have had no issues with the yard markers or yardage in general. We use it all the time and are very happy with it. It has been pretty accurate. Not sure how to you would recalibrate.

Plug the device into the computer and click on the GolfLogix software. Very simple then find the course via state/city check the circle to the right then click load. It will load the courses you have checked up to a certain number. Each time you load you can't just add a new one you have to add all the ones you want at that time.

When you are at, or near, the course you wish to play, chose "play golf" using the bottom left button. After it links to GPS satellite, it will list all of the available courses in that area. I live in Montana and so far, it has had every course even small obscure ones that I thought might not be in it. Make sure you use the usb cable and an internet connected computer to update the watch as soon as you get it. It did take about a 3/4 hour to update it initially after I got it, but worked as advertised after I did this. Great tool to help improve and enhance your golf game.

Your courses should be preloaded. Once you get to the course the GPS will sync in on that particular course. If not, you should check back with Bushnell.

I have not had to recalibrate at all. I'm not sure I would even know how. So I'm sorry I'm not much help to you.

YES---If you are operating in the Pro Mode (which must be downloaded from their website) for the course you are playing. you can push the center button and a "O" will appear at the top of the screen. As you move forward down the fairway the yardage is shownas a distance from your starting pointIf you are in the Basic Mode you can still "calculate" your driving distance by subtracting The Distance to the Green after you reach your Tee shot from the Distance to the Green reading before you hit. Either of these methods can be used for any shot.

The watch is preloaded with almost every course in the US. I don't think you should have to upload courses. I only had one course I had to update because they redid the layout of the back nine. I went to Igolf and I got an error message but played with the connection and got it to work.

Calibrating does, indeed, help, and it's really easy to do (just follow the on-screen instructions).Out of the box, my kit was about 20% off from reality (on a 10K run, it was only showing 8K traveled). I used the local high school track to calibrate the kit by doing a measured 400m lap around the track, and now I'm within 1.25% of accurate measurement which is good enough for me (it's still showing on the low side). This last weekend's 5 mile race shows up as 4.94 miles on nikeplus.com, but that's good enough for me. Hope this helps you.
