Accessing course navigation information

Former Member
Former Member
Are navigation elements nt available to ConnectIQ or have I just not found the relevant documentation?

I would like to be able to:
* Know the name of the course loaded
* The total distance of the loaded course
* Current course metre by location
* Be able to access the turn-by-directions of the loaded course via an iterator.

Is this possible? Or should it be possible but awaiting a pending enhancement, or would it be a mere a pipe dream of impossibility?

Thanks
Craig

For each item, you can currently only get a unique ID and the name--so no other direct access to something like course length. You can, however, grab a particular course and then feed it into an app (for example, Run or Bike) with the Intent system, and start navigating it. Not quite the same thing as being able to get the turn-by-turn info directly, but it does provide some of the capability you're looking for.

    This kind of functionality isn't a pipe dream at all. I expect to see additional navigation-related tools available in CIQ in the future.
