PositionSample always printing out heading = 0

In the PositionSample, it uses Info.heading and displays this.

However with the simulator FIT Data - simulate Data, or side loaded onto my Fenix 3 - it always prints out 0 - whatever direction watch is facing OR the direction I am walking or driving in.

Is there a known bug that Info.heading is not being set correctly ?

In the simulator, you always get a heading of "0" (north) - I've seen that in anything that uses heading - it's just something with the simulator.

But if I side load to the vivoactive, it's displaying the heading, and it's in radians, so a small number.

To turn it into degrees, try:

heading = info.heading*57.2957795;

The sample is working as expected on the vivoactive.
