Steps
Confirm the Garmin device (e.g., Approach R10) supports simulator mode via the Garmin Golf companion app, which brokers the connection
Pair the launch monitor to the Garmin Golf app, then use the app's simulator-software linking flow to connect to E6 Connect or GSPro
For GSPro specifically, follow Garmin's own support walkthrough for connecting the R10 to GSPro rather than assuming GSPro's generic Open Connect protocol is used unmodified
Note that Garmin does not publish a standalone public API for raw launch-monitor data outside the Garmin Golf app ecosystem — third-party sim compatibility is limited to partners Garmin has enabled (GSPro, E6 Connect, Awesome Golf)
Verify subscription requirements: some simulator features (e.g., Home Tee Hero virtual courses) require an active Garmin Golf membership separate from the device purchase
Known gotchas
There is no vendor-neutral 'launch monitor connectivity standard' across brands — each simulator supports a specific, named list of devices/protocols
Garmin's simulator connectivity is app-mediated (Garmin Golf app), not a direct device-to-PC API, so the app must be installed and signed in for the link to work
Garmin's radar-based units measure a narrower data set (ball speed, club head speed, launch angle/direction) than camera/radar hybrid systems, so downstream simulator accuracy for spin-dependent shot shape may differ by device tier
