Frequently Asked Questions - BlackBerry

Q: How do I get a course file onto my phone?
A: Run FreeCaddie and get a GPS fix (or if you previously had a GPS fix that will be remembered). Press the "Download" button, then press the "Get Course List" button to retrieve a list of courses in your area.

Q: What if I don't see the golf course I am interested in?
A: You can create it using our Course Creator. If you know the golf course it is pretty easy to do and is actually kind of fun.

Q: How do I copy course files onto my phone?
A: At the present time all courses are downloaded using FreeCaddie and are internally stored. There is no support for file copying.

Q: Sometimes my BlackBerry does not get a GPS fix. Any suggestions?
A: Exit FreeCaddie, go to Options, then Advanced Options, then GPS. Press the Menu button and select "Refresh GPS, then wait for a location to appear. You will likely need to be outside to get a GPS fix.
