Load saved waypoint position

Former Member over 8 years ago

I want to load the Position (latitude, longitude) of a saved waypoint (Toybox::PersistedContent::Waypoint), but in the doc I see that I only can get the name, the id and the intent. How can I get the position?

var waypoints = PersistedContent.getWaypoints();  // Get the Iterator
var waypoint = waypoints.next();                              // Get the next object in the iterator

something like waypoint.position???

I believe that this was done for security reasons, but I've filed a ticket to see whether this is something we can accommodate in the future.

This is not something that is supported. I'm not exactly sure why, but it looks like the persisted content are locked down so that you can only retrieve them by exiting to the appropriate native application.

Oh, thanks!
it is possible to make a compass to a saved waypoint?

Yes, you could do a "compass" if the lat/lon of the waypoint was exposed.

You would just need your current location.

I have an app where I keep my own internal waypoints and have a screen where I can show the distance (as the crow flies) and direction to each from the user's current location.
