@Unpaired8373 I managed to get it work on my Race S. There was quiet a few mismatch between simulation and this watch with text position, and also had some crashing as well but now it works, unfortunately i have to clear the watch fully/reinstall.

For objects i made a json based object that contains metadata + lines + predefined objects with coordinates which can be drawn + it might have free drawing background in the future (at a limited extent) to be able to highlight rock contours :

  "name": "Salathe", "wall": "El Cap", "grade": "V", "pitches": 3, "width": 400, "height": 1600, #route metadata
  "anchors": [
    {"x": 75,"y": 1217,"grade": "IV","length": "33m","info": "This is the description of the first pitch"}, #points with metadata and text notes for additional info
    ...
  ],
  "route": [[75,1217],...], #free drawing 
  "features": [ #drawn objects
    {"type": "slab", "x": 82, "y": 1057,"w": 52, "h": 52},
    {"type": "tree","x": 102,"y": 1196},
    {"type": "crack","x": 251,"y": 723,"w": 9,"h": 120},
    {"type": "rappel", "x": 177,"y": 807},
    ...

I made a visual editor that can export these jsons, and the sync can be the suuntoplus app text input, so i can paste the json from clipboard.

@guderaber Nice!
I am surprised it works to just have a JSON copy&past over.

Do you run a canvas based implementation?

Today my app was approved

There seems to be a bug in the manifest config for some reason. The text size dropdown list is correctly populated with values from an array but when I select another value the Suunto App crashes. The SuuntoPlus app works fine however.

Data.json

    "textSize": {
        "sizes": [
            "Small",
            "Medium",
            "Large"
        ],
        "size": 1
    }

Manifest.json

{"shownName": "Text size", "path": "textSize.size", "type":"enum", "valuePath": "textSize.sizes"},

Does anyone have a clue?
Unfortunately I cannot test this in the simulator.

@Unpaired8373 I tried the image based implementation, but its not viable as i the image has to be baked in the source code, although it worked on the watch as well. The canvas based was working, but i still have to test some more complicated topos with a lot more objects, then i’ll try to get it approved, because otherwise i cannot not use it.

Still have to play a bit more with UX as my app has 3 screens (selector + topo + pitch notes) and also some minor QoF improvements.

@surfboomerang Perfect. Very useful. Thanks

@surfboomerang I think I’m mistaken… I can’t find where to add a note

Correction… the relevant part appeared after synchronization :).
I’m testing it. Thanks.

@Nikolai-Simonov, @unpaired8373
I played around with canvas and found that you can quite easily go around the draw limit just by splitting the drawing to multiple canvas with their own build functions.

@guderaber interested in your results.

I had some issues with the canvas and Nikolais comments made me explore the sprite-map appoach, which seems to work although giving a different set of challenges. Let’s see where this leads. Maybe a hybrid sprite+canvas approach is the solution.

@oleksandr this looks awesome we definitely need more weight lifting apps

The app is generally good. I needed an app like this.
It reminded me of my Casio Databank from my childhood
There are just a few issues.

It would be nice if old notes could be deleted from the watch.
Entering and editing long notes is difficult on the phone. I save them to a notepad and then copy and paste. It’s a bit impractical.
You can’t use the buttons on the watch to pause or end the exercise while on this screen. There’s fast forward/rewind and zoom in/out. You have to move to the next part.

Finally, it’s a great app, thank you. This should definitely be a widget. It would be great to be able to define it as a shortcut to access notes. Wishing you continued development.
