Samples Location. What activities can be tracked - Fenix 3

Former Member over 8 years ago

I am pretty new to Garmin Connect. Though new very excited to start. Below are my queries. If I get answer for them that would be great.

1. I installed Eclipse Neon and Connect SDK as per the instructions in the website. I want to go over the samples of Connect IQ. But the SDK plugin contained in Eclipse Neon does not contain any samples. so where can I get that downloaded.

2. I was told that if I have to get the gps coordinates from Fenix 3 watch, I can fetch it only from outdoor. Meaning, inside the building I cant get the GPS coordinates. Is it true?

3. I am going to play around with Fenix 3 watch mainly with respect to Activity Tracking like HeartRate, Temperature, so on. I want to know the list of activities that can be tracked from that watch. Can someone help pointing out where I can get that detail.

Thanks,
Prachin

1.The samples are in the samples directory of the SDK. To get them in your Eclipse workspace, use "files>import" from Eclipse (you probably want to only import the one your interested in, and not all of them at once)
2. You can get gps where ever you can get gps, and that can be inside in some buildings (I can get gps inside my house for example, but not inside of other buildings like large stores made of brick) (see Position)
3.See the doc for ActivityRecording for the sports/subsports available (not all work well on all watches). Sensors will show you the standard sensors you can access (HRM, Tempe, etc)

There are samples for these things in the samples directory. Also, check out the Programmer's guild in the sdk.
