Hi there,

I tested out Route Viewer on a 2.5 mile circular walk I do regulary and could not get it to work. My route had 36 points and throughout the walk the app just told me how many meters I was away from point 2.
I guess its always possible that the GPS was not getting fixes but the screen only said 'NO GPS' for the first minute or so while it established a fix. It looks like you only get the ability to have 1 route at a time. I can see thats baked into the html interface.

Might try again with a shorter route nearer home. Is there a way of getting console.log() to send output a phone App ? Ah - there is an Android version of IDE..... but cant yet get connected.....might be my phone.

You mean the GPS Recorder, or something else? Could you tell me the app and what steps you did, as I've used the GPS Recorder many times an it's worked great for me.

Yep, just go to https://www.espruino.com/ide/ on your phone :)
