Custom Exercise with GPS Sample Code

‎02-09-2019 18:45

Hi there! 

 

Does anyone have sample exercise app codes that include GPS tracking? I would like to create an app for horseback riding that tracks: HR, speed/pace, distance, and GPS but I lack the experience to start from scratch. I would also be happy to commission an app but I am not sure how to do that either. 

 

Thanks!

Hi,

 

I started with the documentation of Fitbit - perhaps you know it already:

 

https://dev.fitbit.com/build/reference/device-api/exercise/

 

However by now custom exercises are not able to record gps data although it is mentioned in the documentation. There are still some problems... We discuss/ask for information about this topic here

 

https://community.fitbit.com/t5/SDK-Development/record-gps-data-with-an-exercise-use-of-exercise-API...

 

But... still waiting for the bugfix..

 

I use "run" in my app and hope I can change it soon to a custom type....

 

Regards

Capitano
