RS Gauges
· v1.1.1
About
RS GAUGES — premium cycling data field for Garmin Edge 1050.
One full-screen view designed for glance-readability at race pace. Custom Orbitron typography sized for the 480×800 display. Light and dark themes with automatic time-of-day switching — panel labels adapt to day and night.
THREE CORE PANELS
Heart rate (right). Massive BPM digits with a zone-colored arc gauge. Zone labels (FLOW, AERO, ATTACK, REDLINE) appear for 5 seconds when you cross a boundary. Tap to cycle between live BPM, average BPM, and zone-colored BPM.
Speed (left top). Current speed in big digits with average and max alongside.
Power (left bottom). Instant watts by default. Tap to cycle: W → W 3 SEC → W 10 SEC → NP (Normalized Power, Coggan formula). Three lightning bolts signal effort tiers above FTP. No power meter? The field detects that automatically and adapts the layout — no separate version to install.
HEART RATE ZONES YOUR WAY
Pick your zone source right on the device: GARMIN (your Connect profile), APPLE HEALTH preset, MAX HR (classic 60-70-80-90 percent model), or CUSTOM — every boundary editable on a dedicated screen.
SPRINT DETECTION
Auto-trigger uses five conditions: 5-second power above 1.3× FTP, spike vs. 25-second background, speed above 28 km/h, 3 km/h acceleration in 5 seconds, cadence at or above 80 RPM. Manual override available — a TAP TO SPRINT button appears when conditions partially fire. Full-screen sprint view tracks peak power and peak speed. Smart 60-second cooldown exits early if your heart rate drops back to Z3.
BOTTOM PANEL WITH AUTO SCROLL
- TIMER (HH:MM:SS)
- DISTANCE + ASCENT
- CADENCE + GEARS
- WEATHER (temperature + humidity, refreshed live during the ride)
- WIND (speed + direction arrow relative to your heading)
- LOCATION (geofence-named riding spots and rotating phrases)
Three scroll modes: OFF, AUTO (rotates through the slots), and SMART — keeps the slot you picked, but pops up gears when you shift and wind when it gets strong. Tap to navigate manually anytime.
IN-FIELD SETTINGS
Tap the gear icon (top-left) for in-activity adjustments:
- FTP
- Heart rate zone source (GARMIN / APPLE HEALTH / MAX HR / CUSTOM)
- Day / Night / Auto theme

- DEMO mode — walks you through every feature in two minutes
TRIAL AND LICENSING
One free ride to try every feature. Rides under 5 km don't count, so accidental Start/Stop won't burn your trial. After your first qualifying ride, scan the on-device QR code with your phone and complete a one-time purchase — the field unlocks automatically via your phone, no codes to type. Your license is tied to the device and survives reinstalls and updates. Lifetime license, no subscriptions.
REQUIREMENTS
- Garmin Edge 1050
- Heart rate sensor recommended
- Power meter optional — auto-detected; sprint detection and NP need one, everything else works without
- Garmin Connect Mobile (license activation only — no continuous connection required)
Edge 1040 support is on the roadmap.
