IMPORTANT INFORMATION IN THE DETAILS! OPEN IT WITH BLUE "More" LINK _____________________________________________ If you’ve formed a constructive opinion about the app, please leave a review under the Reviews tab. Thank you! SpeedZone – The Smart Speed Limit DataField for Garmin SpeedZone is a real-time DataField for your Garmin watch that keeps you fully aware of the legal speed limit wherever you are – whether you're running, cycling, e-biking, or riding a scooter. Using live GPS and a dedicated zone server, SpeedZone instantly detects the speed limit for your current location, shows the applicable road/zone name (if available), and monitors your live speed versus the limit. Key features: • Live speed limit display based on your precise GPS location • Shows road, street, or zone name/reference beneath the speed limit (FULL version) • Current speed display with percentage of the limit for quick reference (FULL version) • Real-time haptic vibration alert when you exceed the speed limit (FULL version) • Text turns red instantly if you overspeed, so you can react fast (FULL version) • Colored edge indicator: a colored circle appears as you approach the edge of the current speed zone (within ~300 meters), showing a server update is coming soon (FULL version) • Smart caching: conserves battery and data by minimizing server requests • Intelligent zone detection: only refreshes speed limit data when you leave the current zone, not on every position update • Works seamlessly in any GPS-based activity – running, cycling, e-bike, scooter, etc. • Minimal impact on battery life and performance Trial limitations: • No street/zone name display (only speed limit is shown) • No speed as % of limit • No haptic vibration alerts for overspeed • No red text visual warning on overspeed • No colored zone edge indicator Upgrade to the FULL version to unlock advanced alerts, zone details, and total safety! Additional information & tips: • GPS lock is required before the first zone will be detected. • In dense urban areas, the displayed speed limit might occasionally belong to a neighboring road due to GPS or map limitations (see OpenStreetMap data accuracy). • Blank screen for a few seconds? The app is fetching nearby speed limits – wait for GPS and server sync. • DataField settings (such as unit, alerts, etc.) are only applied after you synchronize your watch with Garmin Connect AND restart the activity. Always sync and restart after changing settings! • Works best outdoors with clear sky view. _____________________________________________ Subscription & Support: SpeedZone is part of the unified FeliXGear subscription system.

What's new

v2.1.0 Added live settings refresh: all changes now apply instantly during activity without restarting the app. New supported devices: Venu X1 and Edge MTB. v2.0.1-2.0.3 IMPORTANT FIX: Due to Garmin platform limitations, the API level has been increased to 5.0.0, which excludes some older devices. If you do not see the update or cannot install the app, your device is no longer supported by this version. v2.0.0 DataField settings directly from Connect IQ: - You no longer need a separate app or widget to enter your Donor ID! Now you can enter your Donor ID directly in the DataField settings, and all premium features will be unlocked instantly. - You can set when the colored circle (zone edge indicator) appears, i.e. the distance from the downloaded zone border at which the indicator shows up. When the circle is full, a new server refresh will be triggered. - You can enable or disable vibration alerts for speed limit violations. All settings are saved directly on the watch and are automatically synchronized. Please note: Due to Garmin Connect IQ platform limitations, any changes you make to DataField settings (such as Donor ID, alert distances, or vibration options) will only take effect after you synchronize your watch with the Garmin Connect mobile app and then restart the activity (exit and re-enter the activity or data screen). This is a platform-wide limitation for all DataFields on Garmin devices. v1.6.1 Export Error Fixed (IQ! fix): Resolved an issue that could cause an error during data export. Notification Bug Fixed (IQ! fix): Fixed a bug that affected notifications on certain devices. v1.6.0 Support Vivoactive series v1.5.0 Trial Mode Updates: - Trial mode no longer expires completely – the app remains usable indefinitely with limited functionality - Ensures continuous access even without an active subscription - Some core features (e.g., detailed data, alerts, graphical enhancements) are available only with a subscription - Perfect for testing or occasional use without commitment - With a subscription, all features are instantly unlocked across all compatible FeliXGear apps v1.0.4-1.0.5 Shows the street/zone/road name (if available) alongside the speed limit New visual "zone edge" indicator: a colored circle appears as you approach the bounding box edge, warning you a server refresh is coming Further improved server logic for even more accurate, up-to-date zone detection v1.0.0-1.0.3 - Initial public release of SpeedZone - Live speed limit and current speed display - Red text + vibration when you exceed the limit - Smart caching with bounding-box based fetch optimization - Fully integrated with the unified FeliXGear subscription system
