Watchface: Data Lover

Hey Peter - has there been any change to the weather location since Nov22?  Since then mine has shown a town 10miles away when it always used to show where I actually was before then?

I have done an uninstall and re-install but still have the same issue.

Seems the change happened in GCM on your phone, where you see the location of the actual observation and not your phone's location, which makes sense to me.  In my case, it says I'm seeing data from the airport, and not my house, and the two can actually be different due to being at different elevation and a small mountain between me and the airport

Sorry - Not sure I understand.  I appreciate its the phone that give the watch face the location data, but don't understand why it is out when the phone is 5m away from my watch or am I missing something?

Can I select a custom data field from my watch and add it to one of the data lover fields or do all fields have a preset list?  Thank you (bought you a coffee as its a great watch face!) erik

You can only choose from the list in the data lover settings 

Can you make daily steps one of the options for the cardio screens?

as Jim mentions this change is a bug fix in Garmin Connect, which now shows weather station location and not your location. 

Note that you also have the option to use openweathermap, it also shows weather station location, but it might have stations closer to you.

I've been pondering about adding an api call to another service to get the location name where you currently are, but I don't really like the extra overhead In processing time and memory increase. Data Lover is very close to the memory limits 

Mreprice, what do you mean? picture?

Diegus, there are a few problems implementing tides: there are no good free tide api, the size of the api response is too large (so would need to implement a web service parse backend), it needs a lot of extra memory at Connect iq side

So It's unlikely tides info will be added to data lover.
