Why do I need to start a round before using Smart Laser Rangefinder features?

Smart Laser Rangefinder delivers its most advanced functionality when an active round is started in the Arccos app.

Starting a round allows the app to:

  • Load the correct course
  • Sync real-time conditions
  • Enable AI Strategy and Green Maps
  • Support accurate Pin Arc placement
     

Before You Tee Off

To ensure Smart Laser Rangefinder features are fully active:

  1. Open the Arccos app
  2. Select your course
  3. Confirm Smart Laser Rangefinder is listed under the Accessories section
  4. Make sure Smart Laser Rangefinder is checked
  5. Tap Start Round
     

If Smart Laser Rangefinder is not checked under Accessories, connected features will not activate.

 

What Happens If You Don’t Start a Round?

If a round is not started or Smart Laser Rangefinder is not enabled under Accessories:

  • You may see “Launch Arccos App” prompts
  • App-connected features may not activate
  • Wind-adjusted “Plays Like” distances may not display
     

Starting a round ensures:

  • Real-time conditions are loaded
  • Smart Laser Rangefinder is fully synced
  • All subscription features are available
     

For the most accurate experience, always confirm Smart Laser Rangefinder is checked under Accessories before teeing off.
