Float Pace

This data field displays your average pace over the chosen interval (10 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes). It is handy for longer steady-state runs or races where you prefer to see a smoothed pace rather than the current pace. If enabled in CIQ app settings, it can also tell you if your current FloatPace is faster, slower, or close to an interval of three times as long. For example, if your selected interval is set as 10 seconds, it will compare the pace against the average pace of the last 30 seconds. Again, this can be pretty useful for longer, steady runs. The data field may store the FloatPace in the FIT file for post-run review. The FitContributor API has a limitation that only allows it to store numeric values (no pace value). Therefore, either km/h or mph speed is used when recording is enabled in settings.

[v1.0.8] - 2024-11-02 - Changed: The data field was simplified, which should lead to a more consistent layout across different devices and be in sync with Garmin's design language and font sizes (smaller and larger than what is available via normal CIQ DataField). - Changed: Background highlighting and plus/minus signs to display a steady pace over 3x interval were removed. Instead, the field flashes FASTER, STEADY, SLOWER text every 5th second to show if your current float pace is faster, slower, or the same as the interval 3x as long. Note that this is disabled by default and must be enabled in the Garmin CIQ App Settings first. - Known limitation: When you change the interval duration in the Garmin CIQ on the phone upon app start, the data field label will no longer refresh even if the app will use the newly set interval correctly. This comes from SimpleDatafield limitations but should really have zero impact as this field is more of a "set it and forget it" data field. [v1.0.7] - 2024-10-04 - Added: Support for Venu 2 (and newer), Vivoactive 4 (and newer) and Forerunner 55 - Changed: Added support for larger numeric fonts. This will be most visible when using 1, 2 or 3 row layouts. [v1.0.5] - 2024-08-31 - Added: Support for new devices - Enduro 3 [v1.0.4] - 2024-08-30 - Added: Support for new devices - Fenix 8, Fenix E [v1.0.3] - 2024-08-17 - Fixed: When the watch was using Imperial units setting, the pace was not correctly calculated and shown - Fixed: Plus/Minus signs were showing even if this was disabled in the GCM app settings - Fixed: Adjusted text position on several devices [v1.0.2] - 2024-05-12 - Initial public release
