Accessing course data.

Is there a way to access data in an active course? I can't find it in the documentation.
I want to be able to access the elevation of the next coursepoint (basically next climb top) and compare that with the current elevation to be able to estimate the time when the top is reached.

You will probably want to use something from the Activity Info class to access that information: http://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/api-docs/ search the method list. "elevationAtNextPoint" may give you the information you need. If not, the methods listed in Activity Info should give you the info needed.

This data is only accessible in the Oregon series currently (bummer) though I think a future firmware might bring it to the Edge devices.

Quick update. On the 520 firmware 7.2 some course data is now available. nameOfNextPoint is only returning null values (even if there are course points), but distance to next appears to be working. I have not tested the other course specific fields.
