About
**Power Dash** is a professional-grade data field designed for serious cyclists who demand precision and customization. Specifically optimized for the 10-field grid on Garmin Edge devices (1050, 850, 840, 530 and more), it consolidates all your critical power and balance metrics into a single, easy-to-read screen.
No more switching pages mid-climb—see your real-time effort alongside session averages and lap-specific normalized power.
### Key Features:
- **Advanced Power Metrics**: Choose between Instant Power, 3s Average Power, PN (Power that is normalized), Lap Power, and Lap PN.
- **Normalized Power Algorithm**: Uses a precise 30-second rolling 4th-power averaging algorithm for both session and lap-based metrics.
- **Customizable HUD**: View L/R % Balance with optional 3s smoothing at the top of the field.
- **Dynamic "None" Mode**: Don't need balance? Set Field 1 to "None" and the remaining power data will automatically center itself vertically for a cleaner look.
- **Personalized Labels**: Customize the suffixes for your data fields (e.g., "AVG", "PN", "LPN") to match your preference (up to 3 characters).
- **Precision Battery Tracking**: Choose between **Lithium-ion** and **Coin Cell** battery types for accurate percentage calculation based on your sensor's discharge curve.
- **Pro Layout**: Designed to maximize visibility in small rectangles, featuring distinct font sizes for values and labels.

- **Field 1 (Top Row)**: Instant Balance, 3s Balance, or None.
- **Main Display (Center)**: Large, high-visibility display for Power or 3s Power.
