watch face compass heading

Rich.T over 4 years ago

Apologies if this has been asked before. I'm trying to use the current compass heading in a Watch Face.

Is this even possible? I've tried to use currentHeading and bearing and neither seems to work.

I'm just looking for and angle from 0 to 360 degrees.

Many thanks.

If you want the actual heading it's in the Sensor module, but that's not available in watch faces.

OK thank you, so what should the currentHeading or bearing give me?

Watch faces don't have access to Position either, and what you see in Activity.Info is actually a "best of" (compass or GPS) based on speed, and I'm not sure it updates based on the compass outside of an Activity. You can try it.
