Toybox.Activity module doesn't give positioning data with datafield apps?

Former Member over 10 years ago

The Programmers Guide PDF says datafield apps get the Activity module (p.30) and goes on to list the fields in Activity, including position fields like info.currentLocation, etc. (p.56).

But all I get is null returned for currentLocation, currentLocationAccuracy and currentHeading. This is when replaying .FIT files in the simulator. Non-position fields like currentHeartRate, elapsedTime are working fine.

Is it not possible to access this information from datafield apps? It would be extremely useful to have access to that data, even if it required the user to agree to an extra app permission first. Either way, the current documentation could be clearer.

Thanks

This data will be available to data fields. The data is missing from the simulator at this time, but we plan to get the module updated to match the spec in a future preview.

Is it only missing on the simulator but should work (developer's bugs excepting) if installed on the 920?

I went to the freezing wind to check it on mine (version 2.57) and I get correct currentHeading. But currentLocation and currentLocationAccuracy are null anyway. So I hope Garmin will fix in the next fw version.

We have fixed a lot of the issues with the Activity Info object. I think all of the data should work as soon as these fixes get rolled into releases. (Except I think heading in the simulator...)
