Postion in UTM format

MazzeV
over 8 years ago
I would like to show the position in UTM format.
My Fenix3 is able to do that, but Module: Toybox::Position not. Does anybody know hot ot do, and I would like to request this format for Module: Toybox::Position. This is important as most new Paper maps use this format.

(I know how to find example code for this task in other Languages, but this should not be done by every app on its own if its a commen task, so please dont tell me to look at wikipedia how UTM works ;-) )

    Yes. The way I'd do it would be to write the code for the equations found in the wikipedia article that you don't want anyone to link you to. There are many different projections, if you want to get position information in one that isn't supported by ConnectIQ, the only way to get it is to implement it.

    Adding UTM support into ConnectIQ will increase the amount of memory needed by the runtime, which reduces the amount of memory available to user applications. This would be a bad thing for many applications that don't need the functionality.

    Really? My watch can show the position in UTM format in a standard datafield if I select this format. So the code is already in the watch.

    It's not just the code in the FW, it's exposing the functionality to CIQ, and also for CIQ, you'd want it common across all devices, and that would mean adding it for devices like the va-hr that don't have it today. Sunrise/sunset is a bit like that, in that on some devices you can see that in a native DF, but if you want it in CIQ, you have to do it yourself.

    Yes I understand that. But its disappointing reimplementing existing features.

    Now I've implemented it myself.
    Like the sunset/sunrise times ;-)

    I will put the code to github because I could not find CIQ code for it up to now...
