Golf Distance Measurement
· vv0.1.0
About
Do you want to execute a distance measurement in parallel to your app (e. g. golf app)? Then this widget is maybe for you.
The usability is extremly simple: if you break a running application with the back key, a widget allows no key presses. Instead e. g. an Enter brings you back to your application.
Therefore you have to follow these instructions: break your Golf application with the back key and start the widget. The color of the ring will show you whether GPS is available. Wait for a green ring and the distance measurement starts automatically. Now you can start walking. The middle value will show you the distance in m (note: to be precise: the direct distance is measured between the first and the current GPS location). Press Enter to get back to your golf application.
Due to Garmins energy policy the watch switches automatically back to your running application after some time. This is not preventable. If this happens during your distance measurement: no problem. just start the widget again if you are at your target position and wait for GPS. You can now find your distance in the upper field.
You can optionally show in the bottom field a sum value out of the upper and the middle value via the widget settings (a how to: http://goo.gl/W7dGaV). This is good for if the widget is switched back already automatically by the watch to your running application. If you are short before your target location you can call the widget during you walk the rest of the way and the watch has time to gather GPS signal. So you don't need to wait for that signal gathering.
The sum can be choosen from two different kinds: a simple sum and the distance between the last widget start and now.
Furthermore the widget offers optionally a bright theme.
