Default Pins or Flagsticks?

Anybody else notice this?

I have since got around the problem by going to a Garmin golf watch. Any excuse for adding kit. But I thought the lack of reflectors was odd.
Bushnell is great at picking up the "Pin". However, there is no mention of Pins, they are properly referred to as Flag Stick, or Hole Locations. Next TV broadcast listen... they never mention "Pin locations", as that is referred to as slang..... but no problem, we know what you mean!
