Start from the clock screen when you are ready to play.
Start GPS course search
NAVO W1 does not start looking for a course automatically. From the clock screen, press the top-right crown-style button once to begin.
- Press the top-right crown-style button once.
- Or swipe right to left to open the main menu, then tap the center Play Golf button with the flag icon.
- Confirm that the watch displays GPS Searching. If this screen does not appear, course search has not started.

Cancel GPS course search
While GPS Searching is displayed, press the crown button again or swipe from left to right. Either action cancels the search and returns to the clock face.
Wait for GPS, then select your course
- Stay outdoors in an open area while NAVO searches for GPS satellites.
- Once GPS is locked, nearby golf courses appear on the watch.
- If a course name is shortened, tap the three dots on that course line to view the full course name.
- Select the course you want to play.
- Hole 1 distances then appear on the watch.
- To start on a different hole, swipe up or down until the desired hole appears.
During the round
From firmware 1.6.6 onward, NAVO automatically advances only to the next sequential hole (current hole + 1) when you reach that next hole’s tee box. This reduces incorrect hole changes when driving past other holes’ tee boxes.
If you skip a hole or play out of order, swipe up or down on the golf screen until the desired hole appears. For example, if the watch shows hole 3 and you skip hole 4 to play hole 5, select hole 5 manually.
If no nearby course appears, first confirm that you pressed the crown and saw GPS Searching. Then make sure you are outdoors in an open area. GPS course search works best outdoors, not inside a building.
