*EASY*GARMIN R10 Bluetooth Connector for GSPRO! 2024 Update + course play 

Thank you Robert! Going to make a big push this year. Hoping to help as many people as I can. Cheers!

@@Break100Golf are you on Discord in the SGT forum?

@@robertdudgeon9232 I am not. I try to limit my social media and communications to RU-vid. Initially I tried everything but could not keep up!

As long as you have a gaming PC with a good GPU and at least 16 gig of RAM for 1080P that's it. Once you have installed the software hundreds of courses will be available to you. Click on "Local Match" then check the box that says "Show All Courses." You can then view all available courses or search for them and download what you want. Once you uncheck the box it will only show the ones you have downloaded. Thanks for watching, commenting and the nice compliment. Cheers!

Do people have to tweak their elevation and humidity settings to get more accurate data ? I use the Garmin app, and the awesome golf app and I seem to need to set GSPRO elevation to 4000ft to get accurate ball flight distances…

Sorry to hear that. Sometimes it's a simple setting that throws everything off. Mine kept on disconnecting and it was not the fault of the Garmin or the GSPro BT connector app. It was my internal PC BT adaptor. It even said it was still connected to Bluetooth! It was not strong enough in my three car garage. I purchased one with an antenna on Amazon for $15 and disabled the internal BT connector and it has not disconnected since. Make sure you are not closing the popup that says APIv1 Connect Window, that also has the General and Debug tabs. Just minimize it. Another thing you can do is open GSPro first. Just minimize the APIv1 Connect Window without closing. Then hit F11 and minimize GSPro. THEN start your bluetooth connector and maximize GSPro then hit F11. This works for some people. Also make sure that you have a clean JSON file for the GSPro BT connector app. I advise leaving it in the original folder you unzip it to in addition to leaving the GSPro connector app start file in there and just create a shortcut to it on your desktop. In the end the Garmin R10 is NOT supported by GSPro so it can become difficult to figure out. If this does not help I suggest trying the Springbok connector. You can connect through BT or direct. Watch this video from Triple Bogey Golf for details. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ov2vLTtnCQ4.html

I'm assuming that you mean the connector not the API as an admin. Make sure you are not closing the popup that says APIv1 Connect Window, that also has the General and Debug tabs. Just minimize it.

Nevermind ! Just saw the previous comment reply

Thanks! I appreciate you watching and commenting!

I have seen quite a few people tweek the elevation setting. You could also try going back and forth with the GSPro and the Garmin algorithm which you can change in the settings or try RCT balls

@@Break100GolfThankyou ! I’m using the metal tape hack so I’m hoping it’s getting enough spin data…. RCT balls are just a bit much for me to swallow:-)

It does not sound like it's starting in administrator mode. Did you save it when you checked the box? Does it prompt you if you would like to start in administrator mode when you click on the BT connector? Last thing to try that I know. Start GSPro but don't advance past the configuration screen where you select your display resolution and graphics type (Ultra, high etc). Then start your connector in administrator mode, then start GSPro from the configuration screen

I’m having the same issue, R10 blink blue. But the PC showed it is paired.

I finally got it. If you look closely, it showes Approach R1 paired but you want it to be connected. So now, go to the JSON file, and change Approach R10 to Approach R1 then save. Now you can connect instead of paired.

As John says in his excellent video, make sure you list yourself as the administrator and make sure you hit apply. Otherwise, it won’t accept that Choice. 2nd: I have found what works for me is I open GSpro 1st and the data window appears DO NOT Close just Minimize it, and then you’re into GSpro. Then I will turn on the Bluetooth software and it’s solved my problems. I was closing the data window which was not allowing the Bluetooth connect to work with GSpro. Hope this makes sense.

The GSPro connector uses the .json file for all of the required data parameters. It can't find it because it is not in it's original location. Just drag the .json file back to C:\users\jburk\OneDrive\Desktop OR uninstall the connector and reinstall it but leave the .json file in it's original installed location. When the connector downloads it installs 2 files. The connector and the .json file
