Custom track plotting for kite surf app?

Former Member
Former Member

Hi,

I was wondering if anybody can point out if there's a way in the CIQ SDK to access the location history *DURING* recording of an activity (FIT file?). I'd like to plot a custom location track in relation to wind direction (for a kite/wind sport app), which I believe MapTrailView won't be able to do for me.

Currently I'm storing the location data periodically myself, but if the data is stored anyway (and accessible to app programmers during activity), this seems to be waste of system resources.

Thanks,

Ari

    You have to save the data yourself.

    But an interesting thing with MapTrackView, if the map settings have "Track log=show" on the watch, you'll see the track on the MapTrackView.  But you won't see this in the sim.  Only on actual devices.

    Thanks!

    I think I'll stick to my own implementation for now and keep an eye on possible future updates to MapTrackView.

    I'm mostly good with just plotting the track and user-selected waypoints on top of wind display, although having the coastline drawn in some subtle manner would definitely benefit my app. Kudos to those who created MapTrackView, it seems to be very friendly for the battery.
