WHY DOES IT TAKE 30 SECONDS FOR THE Ai NAVIGATOR GPS+ TO START?
The Ai Navigator GPS+ is equipped with a ‘Smart Module’, similar to what you would find on a computer. The initial load time is to safely active the Smart Module and its advanced operating system.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GPS AND WI-FI?
Wi-Fi Networks are used to update information (firmware, course maps, scoring details) on the device. GPS is used to pinpoint the Ai Navigator GPS+’s position to ensure that distance calculations are accurate. GPS is required for the Play Golf function; however, Wi-Fi is not.
I AM CONNECTED TO WI-FI, BUT I AM NOT PROMPTED TO UPDATE THE FIRMWARE.
This is most likely due to a weak Wi-Fi signal. It is recommended to try an alternate Wi-Fi Network or to move the Ai Navigator GPS+ to an alternate location to improve the signal. Go to Setting > Update Device to check for the latest firmware.
I AM GETTING TOO MANY NOTIFICATIONS ON MY Ai NAVIGATOR GPS+.
You can control the types of Bluetooth notifications from the MGI Mobile App under Notifications option.
I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH WI-FI AND NEED TO RESET SETTINGS.
• Option 1: Forget Wi-Fi Network – Go to Settings > Default Settings. Then turn off and turn on the Ai Navigator GPS+ and reconnect to Wi-Fi.
• Option 2: Attempt to connect to an alternate Wi-Fi Network.
I DON’T HAVE ACCESS TO HOLE VIEW, BUT I AM REGISTERED. HOW DO I GET FULL HOLE VIEW FOR MY COURSE?
Firstly, follow the steps in previous FAQ to verify that the Ai Navigator GPS+ is registered. If registered, the Ai Navigator GPS+ must be connected to Wi-Fi during the “Start Round” process, or you must download the course details via “Update Course” using Wi-Fi prior to the start of their round.
Option 1: Via Play Golf – Go to Play Golf > Select A Course *you must connect to Wi-Fi to get full course details. Select your course and update. If you skip update, then the full Hole View will not display.
Option 2: Via Update Course – Go to Main Menu > Settings > Update Course. You can preload data for full Hole View.
Note:
- You must first connect to Wi-Fi to be able to “Update Course”
- If you cannot remember the existing password, please use an alternative email address.
WHAT IS HOLE VIEW AND HOW DO I GET IT?
The advanced feature, Hole View, gives a full depiction of the golf hole for better details around layout and hazards. The Ai Navigator GPS+ is preloaded with details on tee boxes, greens, and scorecard information. This requires you to download the course details via Wi-Fi.
This can be done when you start your round or from the settings menu; go to Settings > Update Course to preload courses in advance. Once the course is downloaded, it will stay on your Ai Navigator GPS+.
Please note that each time your start a round of golf, the Ai Navigator GPS+ will attempt to search for any new course data for that course, i.e., any hazard changes. For this reason, the “Updating Course” message appears every time you start a round at that course.
WHAT IF I FORGOT MY PASSWORD?
If you forget password, tap ‘Forgot Password’, which will send you an email with a temporary password to log in.
If you do not receive the ‘Forgot Password’ email, the password will need to be manually reset by MGI Golf Custom Service Team (contact details on the last page of this manual). On rare occasions, this message may appear even when the user has entered the correct email and password – please contact MGI Customer Service for further assistance.
CAN I REGISTER MULTIPLE USERS ON MY Ai NAVIGATOR GPS+?
Each Ai Navigator GPS+ can only be associated with one owner account but one owner can have multiple MGI devices associated with their MGI account.
WHAT IF I ALREADY HAVE AN MGI ACCOUNT?
During the registration process, the Ai Navigator GPS+ uses Wi-Fi to check the server to see if an account already exists for a given email address. If an account exists, the following message will display. If this message appears, you will need to log into your account using your existing MGI account details.
