How do I find out if the courses I play are loaded in the IZZO gps watch?

Call IZZO or go their website. I can say this, when I first used the watch the course closest to me wasn't on there, bummer I thought, but I downloaded the update and there it was.

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.

Yes it is listed, however, I had several courses listed and when I arrived at those golf clubs it would not pick up the course. I was also unable to update, because of my security system.

If you have not done so, connect the Izzo to their web site through the USB port on a computer. It will update the course library and software. I had a few problems that were completely solved by connecting the their web site. Mine has operated perfectly since. It will add more courses, too. Of all the courses I've played using the Izzo, only one, a resort course, wasn't in the library but it had on cart GPS.

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.

My Motoactv shows very accurate distances as well as the proper par for each hole in all course in the USA.However, in all Canada or courses in other countries, ALL holes will be displayed as par fours, no exception.Though the distances to greens and hazards etc. are still accurate.I called Motorola support and they cannot rectify the situation for me.Any suggestions you can make ?I have the most recent update from Motorola for all maps, device as well as computer updates.Thanks for your help !Hubert Hi MattI purchased a Motoactv golf edition GPS watch that source their GPS maps from skydroid as I understand.I play golf frequently both in USA and Canada.

There is no way to do that on the watch - once you transfer to Garmin Connect, you could see it.

When you turn on the unit and press "play Golf" it finds any courses they have mapped nearby. So if the skycaddie web site lists it as a course - the Gimme will find it and display it. The course you ask about is on their list - so it will be displayed. You never actually load or preload a course yourself.

Yes, it shows the distance to hazards. Also, you don't have to download anything. In the U.S. version, I have found all the courses I have played, from NY to Nebraska, are pre-loaded.

The watch has worked like a charm for me after I downloaded the "User Manual": bushnellgolf.com/neowatchOn page 10 at the bottom it says to be outdoors away from buildings and trees to get the best GPS signal. I was getting a good signal and it was saying that I can choose courses that were 10 miles away. You may want to give the golfcourse a call to see if they are part of the network. If you still have a problem, you might try calling their customer service 800-423-3537. They are very helpful. Best of luck to you.

Hello, You should be able to preview courses when you search for them, without having to be playing that particular course. Thanks

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.

Roy,Since I live and play in Pennsylvania I would not b able to answer that question. I would suggest that you call IZZO and speak with a man names Matt there he is very helpful and will definitely be able to answer your question. Just as a side note I am very pleased with the watch and its overall function and capabilities with the yardage while on the courses here that I play.Look on the web for IZZO and call the 800 number there. IFfyou get someone other than Matt I would suggest that you speak directly with him.Hope this helps.

The GPS is suppose to show yardage to certain points as well as to the green, as should also tell you how far you hit the ball. I havenot had time to play with anything but yardages to the green. I think you need to download the maps for each course for free. I have donethat but have not tried to do any of the options. The directions are quite vague. You may want to call the Bushnell tech line: 800-423-3537

It depends on what you want from your Garmin watch. I wanted to know the distance to the green, period. I can estimate on my own how far it is to the dogleg, don't want to mess around with settings on the course, etc. I just want to look at my wrist and know the distance to the green, and it's very accurate for that.

As far as I can tell, the maps are current. You get regular updates after you register your GPS (just log in with it connected to your computer).

No. All the courses I've played so far have been in the memory. There's also an on-line site for any missing ones
