elapsedDistance shows in simulator but not on device

I suspect I am missing something basic.

I have an app that works fine in the simulator but when sideloaded to a 66SR the app shows speed (currentspeed) but not elapsed distance. In the simulator I have to start the fit simulator and start the timer/activity and then my distances count.

On the GPSmap I have activities autostarting. I have distances in the current track for activity distance, lap distance and trip odometer but nothing shows in my app.

I haven't done anything with sessions, I am assuming I don't need to as my device auto-starts tracks.

Anyone know what I am missing?

Many thanks,

I now have variable fps! I will admit 20 is possibly a bit high. Will test over the course of the next few days but might get away with 8 fps, 4 is really seeing numbers move, 2 is glacial. If its worth just having the speed I may continue to try and work out the font issues but otherwise I think it will be parked here as the concept is non-viable.

The other app advantage is that I am using buttons for things like MPH-KPH, FPS change, trip reset (which doesnt do anything of course) and some debug items. None of that I can do with a data field.
