Many thanks that you have ported the Solar System widget to the vivoactive 3! As I meanwhile moved on to the Garmin venu I would be so thankful if you ported this wonderful widget also to this device with its beautiful AMOLED display.

Not possile to remove widget - watch hangs every time I try to do it

Lots of potential but since the default settings cannot be changed it is not useful. It is listed as compatible with the Edge 1030 but it is not.

Great app! I loved to use it to identify the planets on my vivoactive. Please add vivoactive 3 support so I can also enjoy it there. Thank you!

Great app, but it would be better if you could focus on certain planets/Tesla roadster, instead of always having the sun at the center, because I want to have it show the roadster closer with only a few other planets in the fov, but not be super zoomed out from the roadster, overall great app tho love it!!

I like it on my Vivoactive. Can you add the Vivoactive 3 to compatible devices?

This is a beautifully constructed widget, with a huge wealth of information,and runs like a clockwork time machine! I've installed this on all my watches and I've never had an issue or a bug,and have enjoyed the updates from the developer through the year. Thanks very much. All the best, Sam.

Cool app. I played with it for 10 minutes on my watch and then my eyes strained. Then I downloaded similar apps on my phone and wowzas!

Love this widget. Especially as the total solar eclipse approaches you can see the moon's position between the earth and the sun.

This is the best downloadable feature from Connect IQ. I'm really looking forward to future details and functions. Awesome! :-D

This widget offers everyor a marco view of our universe, it reminds me the fact that we are all just a tiny dust. Very Zen.

Great widget to get the planet position in perspective. Helps a lot to decode planet brightness in the night.

Fantastic widget with a surprising amount of features. Being able to zoom in and out on the solar system and just forward and back in the future are great! Also great to figure out the best viewing times for planets. For instance now is great for mars, and it wont be this close again until summer of 2018!

Very cool and lots of information to view about planets and their positions! Can you keep adding things on to the widget like more dwarf planets?

It is possible to add objects whose orbits are not too eccentric, like Mars or even Pluto. If the error is about less than two pixels, then I think it's acceptable. However, if the orbit is very eccentric, then it's not possible to approximate that orbit to a circle. The app is capable of plotting a non-circular orbit, but the calculation time is very high (such that if calculating 30 points per orbit and 5 different objects, the watchdog timer will trigger and stop execution, and you'll see an IQ error). For instance, the Halley comet is very eccentric, so it can't be represented as a circle. However, it absolutely possible to display the location of the object, as long as the orbit is not displayed. Further, some objects tend to not be on the the ecliptic plane (like Pluto), so here we lack the 3rd dimension to properly visualize positions. I'd like to display that at some point but I haven't yet figured out how to do it. Can you give me a list of planets you'd find relevant to display to assess if they would fit?
Sorry, no statistics available yet.
