Hi

I'm very new but enthusiastic to TrekBuddy. I'm currently using BB Bold Theme for Paramotoring. I need the altitude displayed in 'feet' not 'meters'. Is there anyway I can modify CMS to fit that? Or anyway I can use HECL to perform unit conversion?

Many thanks

have a look at this theme:
http://www.trekbuddy.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3177

in the top right is altitude in feet.

Just add some lines in youre hecl script:
at the begin define a global variable:
var air::altft 0

in the "onLocationUpdated" proc add this comand:
set air::altft [round [* $cms::alt 3.28084]]

in the onTrackingStart proc add:
set air::altft 0

now you can use the new variable inside youre xml file eg:
<area x="170" y="3" w="60" h="16" font="smurf_digi_sm" align="right">
<value>{$air::altft}</value>
</area>

You can also use imperial units

Vow! Both methods work. Thanks!

I have been puzzling over this as well since the CMS variables change units when the Trekbuddy units setting is changed but within HECL the units are always metric. I would rather not have to code the units conversion if possible so the "units system="imperial"" code seems ideal - however Ihave put this into the XML and nothing seems to change. Can anybody help me?

Thanks,
Dave
