    Does anyone know how Garmin decides which devices receive their apps, data fields and widgets? I have been requesting (not demanding) that Garmin release their "Tides" widget for the FR935 for months now. I have yet to receive any response from Garmin…

    Thank you guys for such great info and advice!

    With the 20 second transfer time you give and the provided resolution, it is transferring around 2880 pixels per second, with the bits per pixel unknown. If it is 8 bpp, then 2.8 kBps isn't too bad imo, not…
  • RE: How to differentiate on which device is code running

    (ok, the coffee is kicking in!)

    One other thing worth mentioning is the Fenix Cronos (at least today - might not be an issue with an SDK update that reflects the chronos with the f5s fonts and a min FW version that only allows the "f5s" version of the…
  • RE: Is it possible to use "dynamic" strings in menus and other layouts?

    What about making getting a label's text at runtime, is it possible to "bind" it to some variable?

    If you use the built-in Ui.Menu class, you do not have access to the labels, so you can't change them and there is no way to bind a label…
  • makeWebRequest call crashes Garmin Connect Mobile

    I wrote an app that is using makeWebRequest to load JSON data. When I run in the emulator everything works well and I get my results.

    When I run on my watch (vivoactive HR) using the latest version (3.11) of iOS GCM on the latest version of iOS 10…

    I wanted to make an update ..

    I have determined that there is nothing wrong with Garmin Connect Mobile and the setting of user settings and the VAHR, at least when it is concerning numbers. This was with VAHR firmware version 2.65 beta and SDK 1.2.9 with…
  • RE: Footpod pace as data field

    Thanks for the reply. Some comments

    There is no such thing as instantaneous pace when given discrete position inputs as provided by GPS. Pace is calculated as the change in position over time, so you need at least two position and time points


    Yes, that…

    All,

    Lots of us probably have more than one Garmin Device, personally I do a lot of road / mountain bike riding and I'm almost always using both an Edge 510 and wearing my Fenix at the same time.

    I find myself pondering if there isn't some smart…
  • RE: Simulator FIT file playback issues

    Nice!

    No worries, this exact situation has happened to others in the past, so I'd say that it's more of a UI/UX issue on Garmin's part. (Especially since in some contexts, people use "workout" synonymously with "activity".)…

  • RE: How to get full control of the touch screen from developer perspective?

    Unfortunately there are/were a couple of quirks in current watches like Forerunner 955 / 965 (and probably at least every other 5-button touchscreen watch of their generation):

    Bug 1) A right swipe from the left edge triggers onKey(KEY_ESC) and not onSwipe…
