..

Me, too. Golf Buddy charges on floor of car but something bent charging port while hooked up.
Replaced charge cord, then have to position GB so that charge cord pulls "down" on port in order to see flashing light charging in progress.
Has brand new battery Jan 2021 so not quite ready to replace it with new.
Now I know battery replacement is waste of time/money since this is a cheap product - and FYI lies about yardage of some holes LOOOOONG time reported to GB who cares nothing about a fix - so, if anything goes wrong, simply donate & buy new ... until the completion has us all gleefully putting GB in our rear view mirror

Your batteries charge properly? You might have a bad battery that is preventing the other good ones from working. Test all batteries individually to sort out the bad one. But that car is new and should be under warranty!!!!!Refer this all back to the dealer you got it from.

Press the ( plus) sign on display

if your golf buddy has a battery in it, it might need a new battery

re-calibrate the unit or get a more accurate unit
20 yards for a cheap gps unit is about average
remember that you actual yardage is measured by the revolutions and circumference of the tyres so the difference could be coming from that area rather than from the gps unit

SAME PROBLEM HERE....GREAT AT THE OUTSET>>>FOR A CHEAP GPS, BUT BECAME ERRATIC AND UNTRUSTABLE, DISTANCE WISE AS WELL. THE WEBSITE IS A JOKE AND UNUSABLE . ZERO CUSTOMER SERVICE RESPONSE ETC. I HAVE SINCE CHUCKED THIS JUNK . THE GPS UNITS ON GOLF CARTS AT THE COURSES ARE FAR SUPERIOR. ADVICE/SOLUTION.....CUT YOUR LOSSES AND REFUSE TO SUPPORT THIS COMPANY.....BUSHNELL IS THE WAY...IF YOU SPEND A LITTLE TO BUY AN UPSCALE UNIT. TELL YOR FREINDS!!!

If the unit is stuck on 1888 the circuit board inside has lost its programming. Sounds like its about 10+ years old. Bushnell doesn't work on them anymore. If you use it for hunting I would suggest the Scout 1000 with ARC compensation, if you use it for golf look at the Medalist. You can see them both at bushnell.com

The hunting rangefinder will run about 250 bucks
The golf rangefinder will run about 220 bucks.

Both use advanced target locking systems.

Hmm your Bushnell has one year warranty send it back to company under warranty for repair.
