Fly fishing app

Hi All,

I'd like to build a little app for fly fishing for my Fenix 3; would be nice to have something that records where I'm walking / rowing, whether I'm actually fishing or not, and keeps track of the fish I catch and their size etc.

I've downloaded the various bits of software, and I've got the SDK working in eclipse, and I've been able to put the basic sample application on my watch - seems fairly straight forward which is nice!

My question is regarding how I should structure the app: I am thinking that my app should record an activity in a FIT file, and doing this should get me all my location and movement data. I'll figure out later how to store and make use of the data in the FIT files (maybe a little custom web page).

I suppose I will have some menus and sub menus, something along these lines:

Activity

Start Fishing

Stop Fishing

Record Catch

Trout

0.5 lb

0.75 lb

1 lb

....

Salmon

.....

So, when I click down to the bottom of each menu option, it puts an "event" record in the FIT file, e.g. "Start Fishing" or "Trout 1 lb" etc etc.

Can anyone offer any thoughts on whether this is the right approach to take? Also, any info on how to store "event" records in the FIT file would be appreciated!

Thanks,
