CIQ 3.0 on only 4 devices

After poking around the new 3.0 SDK, I discovered that only 4 devices are currently supported: FR645, FR645M, Fenix 5X, Edge 1030.

Can someone else verify this?

Here are their memory limits:

5X
<app_types>
<app id="watchface" memory_limit="98304" prg_limit="1048576" />
<app id="watch-app" memory_limit="1310720" />
<app id="widget" memory_limit="1048576" />
<app id="datafield" memory_limit="131072" />
<app id="background" memory_limit="32768" />
</app_types>
1030
<app_types>
<app id="watch-app" memory_limit="1048576" />
<app id="widget" memory_limit="1048576" />
<app id="datafield" memory_limit="131072" />
</app_types>
645
<app_types>
<app id="watchface" memory_limit="98304" />
<app id="watch-app" memory_limit="131072" />
<app id="widget" memory_limit="65536" />
<app id="datafield" memory_limit="32768" />
<app id="background" memory_limit="32768" />
</app_types>
645M
<app_types>
<app id="watchface" memory_limit="131072" />
<app id="watch-app" memory_limit="1048576" />
<app id="widget" memory_limit="524288" />
<app id="datafield" memory_limit="65536" />
<app id="background" memory_limit="65536" />
<app id="audio-content-provider-app" memory_limit="262144" />
</app_types>
  • Is there a firmware update for the Oregon 7xx, that will support CIQ3, somewhere in the pipeline of pending firmware releases?


    Unless you are using a feature that was introduced for ConnectIQ 3.0, you don't need to be concerned about when a particular device will support the functionality. We don't typically give information about when devices are going to get new firmware updates, they will come when the come.

    Thank you for your reply.
    The reason I'm asking is because I have some custom apps that I'm keen to upgrade using the new MapTrackView class in CIQ3.
    But it's not urgent after all. If it is just a matter of time to be released then everything is fine.

  • For mapping, you can always get a head start with things like the f5x, the 5+ devices and the edge 1030. All are available in the sim and on real devices with mapping so you can see it in action. One note however, is there are things that aren't the same between the sim and an actual devices, like the map scale showing, the current location/direction pointer, the effect of various settings on the devices such as map orientation, track log=show/hide, etc, and how the map itself updates (the sim pulls tiles from the internet vs being local to the device, so hard to test if you don't have a connection and can be slower at other times)

    I use jungles to include mapping code in apps that run on devices with and without local maps.
  • Thanks for the tip :)

    I've made some tests with my app using Edge1030 in the simulator and the usage of the MapTrackView class seems straightforward.

    Can't wait to see the firmware update for Oregon that will enable it to use CIQ3 features, so that I try it for real.
