About

Wonder where you are, or which direction you need to head in? Wonder no more. This compass widget shows your current position, heading, altitude, and barometric pressure. And if you're not sure how far off course you are, you can use the Deviation feature to find your way towards your desired heading. Graphs show your altitude and barometric pressure histories for the past several hours. After the history graphs comes the Deviation screen. It shows your heading in large, easy-to-read degrees, and N.E.S.W. letters below this. For touchscreen devices tap on the screen, and for devices with 5 buttons press the Start button, to enter/exit deviation mode. A red bar will appear around the outer edge of the watch indicating how far off you may or may not be from your desired heading. And finally the last screen shows your current Lat/Long location along with GPS signal strength (blue means it is using the last known GPS location). You can configure the format of the position in the watch settings. Most, if not all, of these features are controlled through Settings in the ConnectIQ app. Supports 30+ languages. The code is open-sourced, so if you spot a bug then view the Source Code via the link on this product page and file a Pull Request on GitHub with the suggested/requested changes. Thanks!
