Do you have any ball park as to when course point data might come available for use? To start I would just like to recreate the Next Point functionality that Fenix 3 has on 520 Edge with the course point name as a data field. Currently the Edge device does not display the Course point name when using Next Point data field.

Access to course points
I am also looking for access to course points. Are there any plans to add that to the API?
We do have plans to add more navigation and mapping-related features to the Connect IQ API, but I don't have a release timeline I am able to share. It's definitely something we want to make available!
Any update on this? I manually add important points to my TCX route ("last water for a while", "nice photos spot", etc), and while the standard fields allow me to display the distance to those course points, they don't display the freakin' name(!) Why on EARTH would this not be a standard field? If you want to stop people from replicating turn-by-turn features on units that don't support native turn-by-turn features, then perhaps don't include the name field ON THOSE UNITS.
In any case, this is just freaking ridiculous that we can't get access to the data points we've entered into our own courses.
