If your watch shows the message 'no courses within 1km' when its trying to search for a GPS fix then please do 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 watch 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.
