Make the magnetometer/compass data available to watch faces without starting an activity

In a watch face when using the magnetormeter/compass data through Activity.getActivityInfo().currentHeading and Position.getInfo().heading the data is only updated when starting an activity or for some time after accessing the compass widget.

I'm wondering if this is done deliberately for example to save battery of if this is something that can be changed.

  • it would be a + for Garmin to have the Compass  working on the watch face without launching an activity. It would be very practical in plenty of walking n situations. I wonder if this may be implemented in a upcoming firmware updates
