About
If you like the datafield you can thank me by sending a beer: https://paypal.me/GavrielF and writing a positive review.
Distance+ Datafield displays the distance / remaining distance / total distance / distance % / remaining distance % of a course or navigation route or workout step.
Note: devices that don't have courses or routes will only display the elapsed distance.
Note: when you leave the course then Garmin don't provide the distanceToDestination, so you'll see "--" until you get back to the course.
## Installation
This is a data field. After installing it, you have to add it to one of your activitys' layout: https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=gyywAozBuAAGlvfzvR9VZ8
