D2 Connect IQ SDK

Former Member over 9 years ago

Hi All,

can someone please confirm that Bravo D2/Titanium is currently unable to read bearing through Activity.Info??

I am really confused to why this information would not be available through SDK as D2 watch does offer bearing information in the navigation while in flight.
I am trying to create customised DataField.

Kind regards,
M.

This was done for a few reasons. Primarily:

1. We wanted to keep Connect IQ relatively easy to learn and facilitate rapid development--part of this meant avoiding lower level languages like C and Assembly
2. We didn't want people to have to muck around in the Garmin OS code that the Connect IQ team has to work with to make the magic happen
3. We needed a way to adaptively run Connect IQ on all sorts of different hardware (wearables, bike computers, variable screen sizes, etc.)

I understand, but I need to make the magic happen! :D :P

It's just frustrating as I *know* that everything is there, device is more than capable of doing what I need it to do, but i can't...
