This widget allows you to store and display two uploaded QR codes, your Vcard QR, your Parkrun barcode and three additional barcode of your choosing.
Although I insist on payment before usage, if you are genuinely dissatisfied with the product after purchase, I will happily refund you. Please note that refund will disable the widget.
HOW TO UNLOCK
When you use the widget for the first time, you will see a six-digit code on a black background. This is the code for the payment system.
If you are purchasing, enter the code at https://kzl.io and follow the payment instructions.
If you are unlocking a widget that you have already purchased, enter the code at https://kzl.io/unlock with the email address you used for payment.
And please contact me using the "Contact Developer" link if you encounter any problems.
UPLOADING QR CODES
Make sure your phone is connected and has a good network because the widget borrows your phone's Internet to obtain the QR code image.
Use the widget menu to select the QR you want to upload, there are also menu options to replace images you have already uploaded.
You should then see a six-digit code on a WHITE background. This is your upload code.
Use the upload code with the web form linked below to upload a QR image, there is also a link on that page to enter the QR content directly as text.

ENTERING Vcard
All Vcard data is stored in widget settings, giving you complete control over your Vcard. Make sure your phone is connected and has a good network to allow the widget to download a new Vcard QR if you make changes.
PARKRUN
Enter your Parkrun number in widget settings to display your Parkrun barcode.
OTHER BAR CODES
All other bar codes, and labels for each bar code, are defined in widget settings. Make sure your phone is connected and has a good network if you make changes so the widget can download a new image.
WIDGET SETTINGS
Settings are accessed via one of the Garmin apps:
Garmin ConnectIQ
Garmin Express
Garmin Connect
Click on your device in the Garmin app and then find installed widgets and look for the QR and Vcard widget, then settings. Make any changes and then save and sync.
ANSWERS TO FAQS
The two devices I have used it with are FR735xt and Fenix 6x. Despite the small screen, scanning codes has worked well for me and it gets better as shops improve their scanning tools.
I calculate the largest QR image that can accurately display for your device. It may appear that there is white space around the image but it is better to have a pixel-perfect and readable small image than a blurred and unreadable larger one.
All modern Garmin devices will store QR and bar code images on your device. Older devices (CIQ2 and below) such as FR235, FR735xt do not support image storage so will download the codes each time.
CHOOSING A GOOD IMAGE
Where possible, use the original, electronic version of your QR certificate or image to upload. The software I am using cannot handle problems that might occur with a photo of a printout such as curved edges.

What's new
|| IMPORTANT NOTE ||
Where possible, please use the original, electronic version of your QR certificate as the software I am using cannot handle problems that might occur with a photo of a printout, such as curved edges.
If you are using a JPEG or PNG, please use a cropped image of just the QR code that is smaller than 1000x1000 and bigger than 70x70 pixels.
