SpeedGuard
· v1.2.7
About
Hold your pace — no excuses! Built by cyclists, for cyclists.
SpeedGuard keeps you on target by beeping the moment your speed drops below your goal.
• Designed for cycling data screens
• Smart beeping that intensifies as you slow down
• Stay above your target speed at all times
• Clear status: ON / NEED EFFORT / OFF
Settings (via Connect IQ application):
• Min Speed 20 km/h — beep alerts when speed drops below this value
• Stop alerts below 10 km/h — prevents beeping when you slow down or stop
Premium features:
• Adjustable Min Speed — set your own target speed
• Adjustable stop threshold — prevents alerts at low speeds
Audio alerts require Tones to be enabled on your Edge device.
