Make sure you cell phone’s battery is fully charged.
- … I mean fully charged I normally charge it to capacity the night before a game and then, if possible, put it on a car charger on the way to the course. I like to see the Battery Fully Charged message before I take it off the car charger before the round.
About 5 minutes before you tee off, I suggest that you start Wegolf on your phone.
- The cell phone will prompt you if it should allow Wegolf to use positioning data…Say yes
- You can always check whether it is connected to the satellites.
Start a new round by selecting Rounds, New from the main menu of Wegolf
