Hi
I was wondering if Subsurface will support the GPS feature of the new Shearwater Swift transmitter.

Cheers,
Claude

I don't see why not - I have contacted Shearwater and asked them to
provide me with the spec for the protocol extension to support this.

Greetings Michael,

I am currently diving with a Swift GPS. I could supply you with dumps if it would be of help. You would need to tell me how to produce them. I typically use an Android device to download to Subsurface however I also have a MacBook with me.

Regards,

Steve

Optimistically/eagerly following this thread as I just received a Swift GPS for Christmas from my wife.

Hi There,

My swift transmitter with GPS, downloads well with all info apart from the GPS location info.

Is there an updated version coming soon to support the integration of the GPS ?

Cheers

BB

This is partially done in Subsurface:
https://github.com/subsurface/subsurface/pull/4668

But it requires for Subsurface to be updated from using a legacy
approach to import GPS information to use the approach currently used by
libdivecomputer, see the discussion on the pull request above.
