My device shows the 'no courses within 1km' message when I try play at my course, what should I do?

This article will explain what to do if your V3, G3, V2, H4 and ProLx+ device displays the message,  ‘no courses within 1km’, on the screen when attempting to start a round.

V3, G3, H4 and ProLx+

If your device shows the message 'no courses within 1km' when its trying to search for a GPS signal then please try the following:

1) Check on the app that the course is mapped in the database. Do this by logging into the app, navigating to the 'Courses' page and then search for the course you are trying to play.

2) The issue might be that the course wasn't on the watch at the time it was made but has since been added and mapped. This means that the course may have the '+ Add' option beside it, if it does then tap the '+ Add' section and then sync the course to the device and then start a new round.

If you can't find the course in the database then please contact us at support@shotscope.com with the information about the missing course. We will create and map the course ready for your next visit.
