Edge 1000 course point name changes?

On an Edge 1000 running 9.2 and minSdkVersion="2.1.1". Using the following code snippet, I expect to get the name of the next course point in the datafield I'm developing:

if(info has :nameOfNextPoint){
if(info.nameOfNextPoint != null){
mValue = info.nameOfNextPoint;
} else {
mValue = "None";
}
}
else {
mValue = "No Field";
}
}

What I'm getting is the name of the next street I'm supposed to turn on (I assume computed by the Garmin, since it is not in the file). While interesting, I'm using BestBikeSplit to add the power data in and now I can't get it to display as an alert or in the datafield I'm trying to write, but it does display on the route sheet screen. It seems either the Edge is changing the names, or the route points are not coming from my list. Any insights / workarounds?

Dave,

We are also working through this (Ryan at BBS here). It looks like the data is accessible in ConnectIQ but you are right the course points don't seem to be populating. We will be rolling out a new ConnectIQ specific Course file for this once we can get it working (basically next course point = current power target). If you shoot me a note I'll share access to this download so you can also test with it. I've been testing a 520 so would be good to get another set of eyes on it. I have reported the exact behavior you mentioned to the edge team so hope to hear back soon.

Same objective

Ryan,
You might not remember, we talked at length last year out here at the Kona Ironman when you were working the Training Peaks booth. Getting BBS's power course target into a color coded data field is the exact thing I'm trying to do. I'd be happy to share / give you the code when I get it working.

I tried to send you a private message with my email. If you make it out here this year, drop me a line.
