Latest known position in watchface?

Former Member over 9 years ago

More and more watchfaces are now calculating sunset/sunrise for which you need to know a lat/long position.

Apparently the last known position can be retrieved.

Any pointers to how to do so? I cannot really find it in the API docs, neither was the search on this forum very helpful.

Something like calling Toybox::Position.getInfo() w/o GPS fix, and when the returned Toybox::Position::Info.accuracy == QUALITY_LAST_KNOWN it denotes the last known position?

With 1.2.x, seems some people are using "User settings" to define the lat/lon for a watchface that does something like sunrise/sunset.

Try Activity.position

I have 2 watchfaces that calculate lunar/sun data. I did something like this:

var curLoc = Activity.getActivityInfo().currentLocation;
if (curLoc != null) {
    long = curLoc.toDegrees()[1];
    lat= curLoc.toDegrees()[0];
}
