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.

  • Would be very great if the "compass" function could be read directly on the watch. Only then does it make sense!
    I would be happy if Garmin would soon implement a corresponding update.
