Incomplete GPS Tracking

I’ve noticed this recently on several rounds - the GPS tracking is choppy or cut off. In some recent rounds, the GPS mapping seems to jump around, and skip some holes. I have a round on 2/26 that exemplifies what I’m seeing.

I take score on each teepad, lock my phone (iPhone 15 Max), place it in a bag pocket, play the hole and repeat. No other app usage, and my signal is generally good. Temperature on 2/26 was in the 40s.

Any troubleshooting tips? Or is this perhaps a known issue?

Hey @paulbrom thanks for reaching out here. Can you try a few of these troubleshooting options?

  • Reset Location & Privacy: This clears all app permissions and resets location defaults. Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Location & Privacy.

  • Reset Network Settings: This can resolve connectivity-related GPS lag. Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings (Note: This will delete saved Wi-Fi passwords).

  • Update iOS: Apple frequently releases patches for location-tracking bugs. Check for updates in Settings > General > Software Update.

If you try these and still run into issues in the next round, please reach out to us at help@udisc.com.

Thanks for the reply - I’ve reset my phone’s location settings and played a round yesterday with no GPS issues. I’ll try it out a few more times over the next week or so to confirm.

Thanks again!

That’s great to hear! If you do run into any other trouble, please reach out at help@udisc.com and we’ll dig into it further.

Probably a GPS issue rather than an app issue. Is it a woods course? GPS can be pretty inaccurate in the woods – off by 50’ or more.
