Two things I learnt today.
1. I probably will not use it again at Yeovil, my home course.
Last time I tried to use it I gave up because I was due to tee off.
Thinking I knew what the problem was (geolocation) I got there extra early today. Standing by the first tee it thought I was 1.2km from the course. I tried the other side of the tee-no, I tried next to the 18green -no, I tried outside the main office -no, I tried between the club house and the office - no, I then slowly walked towards the trolley shed and finally found a place where it worked for a split second back tracked a couple of yards and yippee.
After the round sat in my car at one end of the car park. Would it recognise where I was no . When it did say Yeovil I still had to enter the club name to get my markers name and it kept going back to what club. So I drove my car to roughly the same location as I managed to get in the first place, would it work inside the car -no and so on It took me nearly half an hour to finally being able to record the markers name and get the score uploaded. Lots of network failure messages to add to my misery.
2. My marker verified the score and my H.I. updated immediately. Great if I had played a comp in the same day.
