Installing the Latest Software to Your Approach CT10

Approach® CT10 sensors will receive a software update through the Garmin® golf watch that it is paired with, such as an Approach S20 or S60. The paired Garmin golf watch receives available updates for your Approach CT10 from two sources:  

  • Garmin Connect™ App - If your Garmin device is paired to Garmin Connect App, it will download software updates automatically behind the scenes while your device is connected to your mobile phone. There are no steps required for you to take to obtain the latest software. Generally, any released updates will take up to a week to download before automatically or prompting to install on your device. Download Garmin Connect App for your phone

  • Garmin Express™ program - The Garmin Express program provides the ability to check and offer software updates automatically each time you connect your device to the computer. Download Garmin Express for your computer
