Remaining distance for datafield during activity

Hi,

I would like to get remaining distance (km) during a running activity where workout set and display with value in a datfield. So lets say I create a 5km workout, and when it is active, I would like to retrieve the remaining distance and show in a datafield.

May I ask if this possible now? (it wasnt 2 years ago)

Many thanks for your time and help!

Thank you, but this is for course / navigation. I am kindly looking for SDK solutiom of workout Activity remaining distance.

Starting with CIQ 3.2.0, you can retrieve information about the current and next workout step, but not the entire workout, with getCurrentWorkoutStep() and getNextWorkoutStep().

NOTE: the doc says "(Lang.OperationNotAllowedException) — Thrown if called from a data field app" but I think this must be a typo, as these functions only make sense when called from data fields. I opened a bug report for this.

I added workout step to version 1.4, which should be available as soon as Garmin approves it. If you have any further questions, suggestions, problems, please contact me at forums.garmin.com/.../distance-data-field

Sorry for the super slow reply, I got drifted away, as notification on replies wasn't enabled. Does this means, that it now is possible to get teh entire entire workout (course and navigation) distance unlike earlier ?

Yes, it should work now. I don't use workouts so that part is less tested. If you experience any problems please contact me and I'll try to fix it.

It still isn't possible to get the entire programmed workout details in Connect IQ. CIQ only provides the current step and next step.

If you are referring to a course that's being navigated, CIQ does provide the distance to destination (end of course).
