No, we don't require it - you can use an external GPS puck that is Bluetooth synched to your BB. It is not the ideal solution as bluetooth is not an 'always on' and/or it can be easily dropped. Likewise VZNav isn't the best solution either as having two programs running in parallel, draws more power.

Some how you need to have a GPS signal that is available to our application. How you have this on a VZN phone is up to you.

Basically, VZN dictates the rules...we just have to figure out how to work within them.

First guess is that you are entering a zip code without a course (Try 94583)
Second might be that the bb is still set to look for the internal gps (check settings)

Drop me a call if neither of those work.

Hi Grape Ape,

YES this works in Canada - We have just over 100 Canadian courses and growing weekly. Most Canadian carriers don't castrate their devices on the GPS side. What device and carrier are you on?

Feel free to contact me directly via our blog or via phone at 877.354.GOLF (option #1) Answered from 9A - 10P Pacific Time)

I live in Belgium and have a 8310. I would be happy to map a few courses here and to try the SW. I would start with my home course which I can map accurately even though G Earth pictures are ropey. How do I find out which courses you have in your database for non US Zip codes?

Thanks and look forward to trying it
Andrew
