***UPDATE*** Please note that I no longer use a Fenix 3 and no longer have the time to maintain and upgrade this app. Sorry for this and thanks to everyone who posted feedback over time, I built this app for my own needs and I was quite surprised to see that it was useful to quite a few people!

On launch, the widget will first aquire GPS signal after which it will display the current latitude and longitude (in either degrees/minutes/seconds, decimal degrees or MGRS format - pls choose the format you prefer by pressing [Menu] while the widget is active), the current altitude (in meters or feet depending on user settings), the current speed (in km/h or mph depending on user settings), the current heading (in degree and cardinal points format), the current time (hours, minutes, seconds), the timezone (offset from UTC in hours), whether Daylight Saving Time (DST) applies for the current timezone and the GPS signal strength (on a scale from 1 to 4, 1=no gps signal, 2=poor signal, 3=usable signal, 4=good signal).

**Note** 
- The GPS signal strength will show properly on the Fenix 3 but it will not show on the Epix, Forerunner and generally on square watches due to lack of screen real estate (square displays having less height compared to Fenix 3's round display). All other fields should show properly on all devices. I will look into using a different layout for square watches in upcoming versions.
- The altitude displayed by the widget is the barometric altitude and not the GPS one. Currently the Connect IQ API does not allow me to retrieve the GPS altitude so the best I can do is show the one based on the barometric altimeter.

Please post any comments, feature requests, issues etc. on the forum at https://forums.garmin.com/showthread.php?234025-Widget-PositionPlus. Thanks!


***CHANGE HISTORY***

Changes made from version 2.1 to version 2.2:
- fixed issue where DST was reported incorrectly
- removed the vivoactive as a compatible device due to reports from users about erros (a red X showing) on the device. Unfortunately I do not own the vivoactive and the widget works when tested on the simulator so not really able to debug this. Therefore I decided to remove vivoactive support from the widget.

Changes made from version 2.0 to version 2.1:
- added feature where the watch will vibrate for 0.5 seconds and play a short alert sound when GPS fix is acquired or lost.  (if vibration/alerts are enabled on the device)

Changes made from version 1.1 to version 2.0:
- added ability to select coordinates format (degrees/minutes/seconds, decimal degrees or MGRS - pls choose the format you prefer by pressing [Menu] while the widget is active).
- added the time of day (hh:mm:ss), UTC offset (in hours) and a daylight savings time (DST) indicator.
- added dynamic coloring for the GPS signal strength indicator (green when a GPS lock has been acquired, red otherwise).
- updated widget layout to accommodate the newly added fields.

Changes made from version 1.0 to version 1.1:
- altitude is now displayed in either meters or feet depending on user settings
