GolfGPS FENIX
· v2.1.1
About
Retro Golf App - Designed exclusively for the Garmin FENIX 5 & 6 Series. Track your scores, view scorecard, and store hole GPS information for up to 10 courses. No internet connection or data plan is needed to use.
To add a new course, select "Add New Course". As you keep your score, the watch manually saves the GPS position when you are on the green (hit "START/STOP" and follow the prompt instructions to confirm position). Once GPS data is saved, play course again and again with accurate distance to hole measurements displayed in real time. Record and adjust strokes per hole using the Up/Down arrow buttons, and hit the START/STOP button to record strokes and advance to next hole. App displays your scorecard at the turn (between 9th & 10th hole) and after the 18th hole. Exit the app from the SCORECARD view.
App also includes a score only mode, which disables the GPS feature, but still tracks score, distance traveled, and round duration. Scores from your last 10 rounds are saved for reference and viewing. Uploads results and metrics from your round to Garmin Connect.
What's new
May 22, 2021 Update - Added support for FIT files, statistics and historical data from rounds played will now be displayed in Garmin Connect! Additionally you can now see GolfGPS course data (to verify accurate recording) and set the PAR for each hole direct from your watch!
April 19, 2021 Update - Updated App's Garmin Express Settings to now permit user to toggle distance unit from yards to meters.
Added the ability to manually add a course via Garmin Express Settings Menu. Format for each hole is: Latitude,Longitude (NO SPACES) in Decimal Degrees. You can generate these points via dropping a pin on the hole (center of green) via GoogleMaps. You must be sure to choose the decimal degrees value and remove any spaces. (see sample image below). If you format the values wrong, the App will ignore them and distances won't be displayed during play. At this time, the App's Garmin Express settings will only let you add one course at a time. You have to then exit Garmin Express and launch the App on the watch for it to load into memory. Once a course is added, it's there until you delete from within the App. You can add up to ten courses total via this method (or the original way via walking the course in "Add" mode.)
Example of correct format using the St. Andrews Old Course's 18 holes:
