• RE: Roman numeral digital watch face, anyone?

    Point taken on the varying character height, and I in fact limited the maximum difference in an earlier version. 

    Everything is a compromise, though!

    The varying heights in Huge Font fields are really intended for top and bottom slots where, otherwise…

  • RE: FONT_NUMBER_* and alpha characters

    Yeah, the history here is that Garmin devices have traditionally had low amounts of memory (and still do), so the fonts with the biggest characters (FONT_NUMBER_*) also have a restricted character set, in order to save memory. (Since the use case for…

  • RE: Background Services Conflict

    Hi Jim - this is feedback from a user of a popular CIQ app called XERT. They are blaming Garmin/CIQ.

    ===

    It will break XERT. XERT will connect to the server and then at 5 minutes later when XERT wants to connect to the server again, the XERT data field…

  • distanceToDestination and offCourseDistance

    My EDGE 1050 seems to have benefited from improved behavior for these two metrics. I use these to inform the rider of their ETA at the end of the ride, and to alert them if they went off course and how far off they are. These have had a bunch of scenarios…

  • RE: Garmin 5X - Watchface background updates are no longer limited to 5 minutes

    Using a duration will work at least as well as using using a time. Are you re-registering in the WF or in the background? "Run Again in 5 minutes" before you exit the background... If it's in the main app, that could be delayed if you're not using the…
  • CIQ unique download stats (feature request)

    I like the daily, weekly, and monthly stats graphs for CIQ apps. My understanding is these are non-unique download totals (i.e. includes downloads of updated versions).

    Would it possible to have the same stats for unique downloads? I realize this can be…
  • Reading min and max HR from a watch face

    Hi gents,

    I'm currently trying to retrieve the max/min HR for the last 24 hrs. I used this forum and the CIQ documentation to write the following:

    function findMaxMinHR( dc ) {

    var hrMaxValue = 0;
    var hrMinValue = 255;

    if( ActivityMonitor…
  • RE: Data Field not writing to fit and/or showing chart in connect?

    I wouldn't trust Connect at all for determining if your data was written to the FIT file. I would download the FIT file from the Connect/Simulator and run it against FitToCSV tool from the FIT SDK. There are too many variances to do testing from there…

    My watch face users report crashes. Most of them are Fenix 3 users.

    I am looking for ideas on how to debug or simulate what people might be experiencing. It's a bit like walking in a dark and trying to shoot a fly.

    I already guard each value returned…
  • RE: Retain state data over a crash.

    I still don't understand why it's not a great idea.

    I'm sure one of the Garmin guys can elaborate, but if I remember correctly there was some concern at one point that writing to data frequently was going to cause issues with the longevity of…
