Is it possible to edit current position data within a widget itself?

See the input sample in the SDK for an example, or the recordsample.  You need to have a delegate to get things like button or touch input.

But for widgets it's a bit more complex, in that devices without glances, you can't use things like up/down, as they will move you through the widget loop, and the way to handle those there is to push a second view, and handle up/down in that view.

You could also use onSelect or onMenu to do something like display a menu with two selections, "Add 1" ,"Subtract 1".

Would the samples explain ho to get the position and edit it?

What position?  The lat lon, or the screen position (x and y)?

Sorry, Lat, lon

so you want to change lat from 32.xxx to 33.xxx for example?

Yes, (sorry for the repeatedly late replys by the way).

When you detect the proper button/swipe you do something like lon=lon+1,0;

and then have the screen update by using

WatchUi.requestUpdate();

So vaguely

function (on push button)

{

lon = lon+1,0;

WatchUi.update.ETC;

}

In your input delegate, (again see the samples I pointed to in the SDK)

function onSelect() {

   view,lat=view.lat+1.0;

  WatchUi.requestUpdate;

}

You need to pass your view as a paramete when crating the delegat (in getInitialView()) and your lat needs to be a variable in your main view.

I have been looking at them but am finding them a tad overwhelming, but I had an idea, what if I got the screen tap coords and say if I tapped the screen and it were between x, y and x2 and y2 (so a box I guess) then that would say increase lat if I tapped elsewhere it would decrease lat etc?
