VSPD - Vertical Speed Meter

Vertical Speed (VSPD) measure the vertical speed based on barometric pressure. VSPD is much more than a simple datafield. It logs statistical information to the activity and shows the vertical speed as graph amd statistic in the Connect Mobil App or on the Connect Website. * Enable data recording and presenting in settings(!) VSPD is also known as: Variometer, rate of climb and descent indicator (RCDI), rate-of-climb indicator, vertical speed indicator (VSI) or vertical velocity indicator (VVI). ' *** WHY *** Wenn you do sports in the mountains, like Mountaineering, Trail Running, Skitouring, Mountainbiking or Climbing the ascend speed is an important number of your fitness. As the GPS signal can be week in the mountains or even wrong due to reflections it is often more accurate to use the barometric height to calculate the vertical speed. VSPD shows the vertical speed at a 10m/h accuracy (Standard Garmin vertical speed field rounds to 50m/h which is to vague for serious training). ' *** FUNCTIONS *** 1. VSPD is a data field that shows the vertical speed in [m/h]. 2. VSPD records the vertical speed during an activity. 3. The VSPD shows a graph oft the vertical speed when displaying the Activity in the Mobile App or on the Garmin Connect Website. 4. LAP statistic of average ascent speed. 5. Statistic of time per speed zones (summary statistic). 6. Configurable in settings what data should be recorded and shown. ' *** CONFIGURE the VSPD datafield in the APP SETTINGS *** Enable the additional statistic and graphs - Enable/Disable VSPD recording and graph - Enable/Disable Ø ascent speed in LAP - Enable/Disable ascend speed zones statistic - Record ascend speed only (suppress descent speed, this can improve readability) - LAP Ø : average ascend speed. Calculated during time you actually ascend. (Minimal ascend needs to be 50m).
