Badger- fantastic that is just what I was looking for. Stupidly, I didn't think to look to see if there is an app that does it! Cheers!

With regard to the Garmin watches, it's quite common practice elsewhere, I've found, for two differently priced electronic items to be identical in hardware, but for the cheaper of the two to be 'brain-damaged' in the software (firmware) so as to give the impression you're buying extra features when you shell out more money.

I've no problem with them restricting hardware or software for marketing purposes, it was more that they got it wrong at launch, then only removed it when users were saying "hey, this is nice we got a little surprise for free". They lost some goodwill there, albeit from only a small group of users who were in the know.

Chris, I'm going to have a go with the SDK and see how far I get. My coding is limited to VBS and a bit of python, but I'll enjoy having a go! But when it get stuck know where to come!!

I need to learn Python properly, I'm a C#, PHP, ASP, Javascript coder. Fingers crossed the SDK is easy to use.

I doubt you'll struggle with Python with that lot under your belt. Biggest problem is keeping track of where variables are just different names for the same object.
I've written a couple of Connect IQ widgets, code's fairly straightforward but matching up processing and UI can be a bit tedious.

There seems to be some good help in the CIQ forums if you need it.
