Ii it possible to record actions on buttons with date/time and tags in a FIT file along with activity data?
Examples of use:
*mark a PoI or a direction change
Thanks.
I do something like this with addLap() - It puts a lap mark in the fit file, so it can later be seen on Garmin Connect. I use a button press to add the lap mark.
Could it be anytime soon?
The only other way I can imagine doing that today is by transmitting these events via BLE to a smartphone/tablet. But:
When hiking, I would like to have at the end a single GPX file with the track and the PoIs: I could then record the track and events directly in the smartphone and generate the GPX file whitout relying on the location given by the watch. The watch could act as a remote control to mark the PoIs. I don't think it's worth spending the development and debugging time as there are GPS loggers available on smartphones/tablets. Too bad, the form factor of the watch is very well suited for that.
When acting as a referee, I cannot have my smartphone with me and can be quite far from it during the game. So BLE communication will be unreliable at best.

I thought of it but I won't be able discriminate different kinds of events. This could do the job to mark a PoI.
Could this functionality be added to a wish-list, as I can see endless applications for it?
Thanks
