Wrong behaviour of Activity.info.distanceToDestination

Hi,

I am now playing withinfo.distanceToDestination in my datafield. It seems that something is broken there as it behaves a lot different than native Garmin datafield with remaining course destination. This garmin native datafield in all scenarios works as expected unlike info.distanceToDestination variable in connect iq.

So far as I tested outdoor with real device (this can't be tested in simulator):
In case of course WITHOUT any course pointsdistanceToDestination is null while distanceToNextPoint shows remaining distance.
In case of course WITH course points both distanceToDestination and distanceToNextPoint shows same distance to next coursepoint.

Anyone had same issue? So I can't be sure now whether I have really destination to finish or not.

Tested with Garmin Fenix 5S 8.00, CIQ 2.4.1

I've moved this over to the Bug Reports forum and created a ticket for this issue you are seeing with distanceToDestination.

Thanks,

capinoha Did you ever get the distancetonextpoint or distancetodestination straightened out. I'm thinking of creating a new datafield which would make use of these fields.

TrailCat and capinoha, I've asked the device team for an update.

This is still happening on the Fenix 6. Is there any hope of a resolution?

There's always hope, but in my experience when a fix is dependent on another team (which is the case here) there's less chance of seeing a fast resolution as that team may have other more important items (in their eyes) to handle.

When you want to add additional info it's best to do this in the "new" bug report forum.

The issue has in fact been re-reported there and is being tracked here: https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/i/bug-reports/activityinfo-distancetodestination-seemingly-incorrect-reflects-distance-to-next-point-not-distance-to-end-of-course
