What happens with --no-snap
Opened this issue · 1 comments
Hi @googol42 , thanks for the awesome code!
By default, waypoints are snapped to the track. Doing this ensures that "Up Ahead" works as intended. If you don't want to snap waypoints to the track use --no-snap
Do you know what happens (in terms of functionality when using your Garmin) when you do not snap waypoints? I am asking because I often want to add waypoints close to the track, but not exactly on it.
Hey, I am happy to here that you like the code 😃 With my watch the following happens when I use --no-snap: The course point will show up under "Up Ahead" but the distance is wrong. I think the watch is confused how to calculate the distance and struggles to determine whether you passed the course point or not.
When you just want to see the waypoints on the screen you could add those points as "normal" gpx waypoints in a separate file.
Hope that helps 😃
