  Thanks Gordon!
  I'll wait for the next F-Droid Bangle.js Gadgetbridge update.

  For anybody stumbling across this post, this is my temporary work-around:

  var androidOverwriteGps = false;
  var androidSettings = require("Storage").readJSON("android.set­tings.json",1)||{};
  if ('overwriteGps' in androidSettings && androidSettings.overwriteGps)
        androidOverwriteGps = true;
  
  ... [snip] ...
  
  if (androidOverwriteGps) // speed from Android GPS is in m/s (not kph)
        fix.speed *= 3.6;

  Hi fellow Banglers

  While working on an app which also displays the current speed, I've noticed that the read-out was wrong when using the "Overwrite GPS" function of the Android integration. I'm not a Java expert, but as far as I can tell, the code in Gadgetbride (app/src/main/java/nodomain/freeyourgadg­et/gadgetbridge/service/devices/banglejs­/BangleJSDeviceSupport.java) forwards the Android location.getSpeed() unchanged. According to the Android SDK, that's in "meters per second" - so, not what the Bangle API should return (ie. kph).

  I think the correct fix (speed * 3.6) should be done in Gadgetbridge. Alternatively, the Bangle android app could do the same. Thoughts?

  BTW I'm new to Bangle coding. The watch is brilliant!
