Frequently Asked Questions - Android
Q: When I run FreeCaddie it just says "Searching". What do I do?
A: Make sure GPS is enabled on your Android phone.
An application like Google Maps can determine your approximate position without GPS so it is not an indication that GPS is working.
Q: How do I enable GPS on my Android phone?
A: To enable GPS from the home screen press the Menu button, then select Settings, then Security and Location (or Location and Security) and make sure "Use GPS Satellites" (or "Enable GPS Satellites") is checked.
Then run FreeCaddie and you should see a GPS icon at the top of your phone. Go outside, press Menu, then GPS and in a few seconds you should see your latitude and longitude.
Q: FreeCaddie Pro does not show up when I run the Android Market Can I purchase from FreeCaddie.com instead?
A: Yes, you can also purchase FreeCaddie Pro for Android by going here.

A: You can download the installer for FreeCaddie Pro for Android is located at the bottom of this page:

If you are able to install it you will not need to repurchase. To do so you will need to
enable installations from other sources (home screen, Menu, Settings, Applications,
check "Unknown Sources"). Many Android phones (for example, from AT&T) are now
disallowing installations from sources other than the Android Market.
Q: I purchased FreeCaddie Pro from Android Market and updated my phone. The update erased my applications. How do I get FreeCaddie Pro back?
Your Android Market purchases are tied to the GMail account used on your Android phone.
As long as you use the same GMail account information after the upgrade you can download
and install all of your paid applications again from the Android Market without repurchasing.
