Lap Viewer
· v1.5
About
View your laps in a list. How is this different than other lap history viewers?
• Flexibility
1-3 columns and dozens of available metrics, such as:
Lap/Total Time, Lap Min/Max HR, Elevation at Lap end, Lap Ascent, Lap Calories, Lap HRR%
• Power
Scroll through all (*) your laps
• Focus
Hide column titles. Show only even/odd laps if you're doing intervals.
• UX
Whether you have 1, 2 or 3 columns, Lap Viewer tries to keep all your data visible. If it doesn't fit, the text shrinks. Precious space is saved by keeping lap numbers small and showing "5:00" instead of "05:00" for your lap time.
For any questions or comments, please use the forum thread:

I'm open to any suggestions for improving the UX, simplifying the app or making it more intuitive. Thanks for helping me improve the app!
(* Lap Viewer stores up to 50 recent laps, or 20 on older devices like FR235 or Fenix 3.)

Features
━━━━
• 1-3 columns with any meaningful combo of :
◦ Lap, Overall (Current/Total)
◦ Average, Minimum, Maximum, or none of the above
◦ Time, Distance, Pace, Speed, Cadence, Power, Heart Rate, HR %Max, HRR%, Calories, Elevation, Ascent, Descent
For example, if you're interested in heart rate, you can choose from:
Lap: (Average) HR, Min HR, Max HR
Overall (at lap end): Current HR, Average HR, Min HR, Max HR
• Shows all laps, or just even/odd laps
• Column titles can be hidden so you can see more laps
• 3 font sizes so you can choose between readability and seeing more laps. Most devices display 5-7 rows
(If you choose large text, then Lap Viewer gets a bit wider on round watches.)
(Text will automatically shrink to fit if you have 3 columns and/or big numbers.)

Q & A
━━━
Q: How do I add Lap Viewer to my running or cycling activity?
A:
• On your watch, select an activity with a spare data page — e.g. Run
• Hold UP for the menu
• Select Run Settings, Data Screens
• Choose the unused screen
• Change Layout to 1 field
• Select Field 1, choose Connect IQ Fields, select Lap Viewer
━━
Q: How do I change Lap Viewer settings?
A: Open Garmin Connect on your phone:
• Tap the picture of your watch (near the top of the screen)
• Tap Activities & App Management, Data Fields
• Select Lap Viewer
• Tap Settings
━━
Q: How do I scroll through my laps?
A: In the app settings, select Auto Scroll (when paused/moving slowly) or enable the Hotkey.
• The Lap Viewer Hotkey is: press DOWN, then UP, quickly
For touch devices:
Vivoactive 3/HR: Swipe UP, DOWN, quickly
FR630, Vivoactive: Swipe LEFT, RIGHT, quickly
• Double-clicking Back while paused:
The Lap Viewer Hotkey really just hides and shows Lap Viewer quickly — UP, DOWN works just as well. While paused, pressing Back will not take a lap, it will switch between the data pages and pause menu. So you can double-click Back while paused to scroll the Lap Viewer. If you have a watch that can disable the Lap Key (e.g. 935/Fenix 5), you can do this while the timer is running, too. (And assign a device hotkey to take laps, such as Hold Back.)
Q: I'm using the Hotkey, I have a lot of laps, and I want to get back to the first page without scrolling through all of them
A:
Press/swipe DOWN, wait 5 seconds, then press UP again.
━━
Q: What do the prefixes mean in column titles?
A:
• The 1st prefix applies to overall info (e.g. total time), at lap end:
T = Total
C = Current
A = Average (not shown for lap metrics, since it's implied)
Anything without a T, C or A prefix is a lap metric.
• The 2nd prefix applies to lap and overall info:
+ = Maximum
- = Minimum
• e.g.
Time: Lap time
TTime: Total time (overall)
Pace: Lap pace (implied to be lap average pace)
+Pace: Lap max pace
APace: Average pace (overall)
CPace: Current pace
C+Pace: Max pace (overall)
What's new
A clone of Lap Viewer is available here: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/08c38af5-0bd7-4a70-a341-d65b9e6b3782
1.5 • Support new devices, including Fenix 6 (all) and Vivoactive 4/4S
1.4 • Add support for 245, 245 Music, 945 and MARQ watches
1.3 • Display %HRR and HR %Max as percentages (e.g. "50") instead of ratios (e.g. "0.50")
1.2 • Fix bug where all columns had the same title
1.1.2 • Fix crash introduced in 1.1
1.1 • Add ability to have auto scroll when moving. See new setting: "Auto Scroll Type"
• For old touchscreen watches (e.g. 630, Vivoactive, VAHR), change hotkey threshold to 5 seconds, instead of the normal 2 seconds. Hopefully the hotkey works now.
• Save memory
1.0.11 • Fix bug where time for 1st lap was always 0
1.0.8 • Use bigger fonts for "large" text size. (Text will still shrink to fit with 3 columns/big numbers)
