CurrentHeading

Hi,

I am developing a data field and I want to display a compas; I guess that I have to use info.currentHeading which is referenced in radians so to convert in degrees I have formula 1 radian = 57 * degrees.

Once I have degrees from 0 to 360 I can know if it's N, E, SE, etc.... but I am getting numbers in negative??? Why?

How to solve it?

Thanks in advance,

Oriol

Thank you!!

This is how it looks my snippet

if ((info has :currentHeading) && (info.currentHeading != null)) {
vCurrentHeading = Math.toDegrees(info.currentHeading); // Convert 1 radian to degree…

On my Edge 1030+ and 1040 (both with compass) info.track delivers correct values even wenn you don‘t move forward - speed = 0.

See CIQ north arrow of my datafield on top right:

My user in Frace with a 1030plus (with a compass) reported that my change to track() solved his issue with the unreliability of currentHeading() which caused issues even when moving. THANK YOU!
