Hi guys,

Trying to create a timer to show 1/4mile on screen (in the app). I already made something similar for 0-100km/h, 60-120km/h and etc.

However, I could not make one that shows the time refering to distance (gpsDist()).

In the user guide it says:

"getGpsDist()
Provides the current GPS calculated distance from the beginning of the logging session, or from the start finish line, if configured.
params
(none)
returns
The distance, in Miles

"

I am not recording it in any track, only on streets. So, no start or finish lines. But I am pressing the button to log it. Even that, it still showing 0.000 miles.

So, how should I do to get a distance channel to use in my calculations?

BTW, attached is the screen where I show 0-100km/ and other metrics

It is interesting that looking to an old file I can see the "Distance" channel showing several numbers while my latest files it just shows 0.

Would be the case of a bug in this latests firmware update?

Thanks,

Hi,

The solution might be to ensure you have a track configured, or at least, specifying a start/finish line point.

Try that and let us know if that resolves the issue.

Hi Brent,

I don´t have a track or start/finish line defined. As I mentioned, I am using on normal roads and even if I use it in close track, I won´t define the track.

The interesting thing is that old data, from March Arpil, had this channel working (in a not defined track or start/finish line)and now it is not working anymore.

Would you know why I am having this issue now?

Thank you again,

Regards,

Not sure. Can you try setting some arbitrary start/finish point to see if that makes a difference?

Hi, one more thing. could you re-check this with the latest 2.10.0 firmware?

Hi Brent,

Sorry for my late response. Not receiving the notification when a new response is added in my questions.

Yes, using the new firmware 2.10.0.

Thank you again!

Hi, trying to same type of timer.
Did you make it work?

Best regards Matti
