G1000NXi waypoint info

#1 Post by k8jb »

Got a simplified waypoint display working but the next waypoint and its altitude data is usually wrong - I get no altitude data and the waypoint ID only updates after I've passed it. ETE and distance are right but the ID is wrong until I've passed the first way point - altitude is always zero.

This is how I started:

fs2020_variable_subscribe("GPS WP NEXT ID","String",
"GPS WP DISTANCE", "Meters",
"GPS WP ETE", "Seconds",
"GPS IS ACTIVE WAY POINT", "boolean", wpInfo)

and added "GPS TARGET ALTITUDE" and "WP NEXT ALT" - before takeoff I get the altitude of the destination as the target and 0.0 as the waypoint but after I add in waypoints, I never do get an altitude. By that time, all altitude info goes to zero.

Any ideas anyone?

John
