Question to function 'onTimerLap()'

In my datafields I'm using the function onTimerLap().

On the real device (Edge devices) it works as it should: a lap is triggered on button press or auto lap.

On the simulator there happens a strange thing:
every (about) 1,607 meters of elapsed distance, a lap triggers without doing something.
The lap trigger occurs not exact at the same distance, but nearly the same: every 1,606 to 1,612 meters a new lap triggers by itself.

Under simulator settings I cannot find a auto lap setting or such else.

Has anybody else seen that behaviour?
(VisulaStudio Code. It happens on all SDK versions - including 7.1.0)

That was obvious

Autolap occurs in the sim and there's no way I've found to disable it. It's every mile This started a few years back.

2606m is .9979 miles

Thanks for clarification!

I think Jim you have a typo, a mile is 1609.34 metres (meters in USA English) or 1/3 of a league, that is 8 furlongs (used in horse racing) a furlong is 10 chains, a chain (the length of a cricket wicket) is 22 yards and a yard is 3 foot 3 inch, which is close to a metre / meter (91cm 44 mm) with the metric system introduced 200 years ago next year, some take a little while to adopt them - I won't start on pints / gills etc.. as I wouldn't want to mess with alcohol measurements, but when is a gallon not a gallon? If you can fathom (just over 6ft or more importantly 1/1000 of a nautical mile (which does not equal a land mile)) that out let me know - anyway hope this helps and doesn't make yours or anyone else's blood boil (which is c100 degrees Centigrade / Celsius (or -173.15K for Kelvin if you are a purist) - remarkably similar to water!!!!

My point is - units of measurement - what a nightmare globally

Edit: I wanted to say unless we are talking months and years, but then quickly realised / realized that I'm observing Ramadan which uses the lunar year.

I also haven't mentioned height or weight which you get tons and tonnes of different variations :-)

I was in school in the 1960s-70s, and at that time there was a push for the US to go metric. About the only thing that survived is you can still buy 2 liter bottles of soda!

:-) I've spent a lot of time in the US and never seen 2 liter bottles of soda (where I'm from we call it [generically] pop) - i grew up in the UK which uses a nightmarish mix of both - I live in the EU now which is at least one - metric

and 3.34 meters / metres out, which if you are coding distance would be a lot - so for relevance of this forum

0.621371 of a mile is a KM (and not 0.622665 which would be 1606)

And you can still run a 10k

When I visited the UK in the '90 as a teenager I went to a supermarket and we started to convert the weights in the cheese department from imperial to metric. The seller heard us and thought I am converting them as some school homework and told us something like: yeah, it's hard and confusing, better to keep it in pounds...
