Speedometer GT Data Field: Your speed at a glance!
· v2.0.0
About
Speedometer GT Data Field is a free data field that shows live information from your current activity: your current speed with a large number and also your top speed and the average speed and the elapsed distance and the elapsed time and the current time and GPS heading.
*** Important Note ***
Please be advised that this is a DATAFIELD and not an APP
follow the official garmin guide to enable a data field: https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=gyywAozBuAAGlvfzvR9VZ8
Or look at the end of this text learn how to enable and use a datafield
If you want the App instead then follow this link: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/903b9c2d-376a-48e2-af31-ec0598cc0bb8
I am getting bad reviews and rating just because some users don't know the difference between datafield and App
Top speed and average speed and current speed are represented in real time on the Dial (the blue arc for the current speed and a red arrow for the top speed and the yellow arrow for the average speed and a single purple arrow if top speed equals average speed)

Via the Setting Panel on Garmin Connect IQ mobile App or Garmin Express you can:
- enable or disable Dark mode
- choose from four different dials (graduated up to 12, 18, 24, 30, 60, 120, 180, 240, 300, 600)
- choose from four units (miles per hour or kilometers per hour or meters per second or knots).
- choose the content of the distance field (Elapsed distance or GPS Heading)
- choose the content of the time field (Elapsed time or Current time)
The heading shows text in five different colors depending on the GPS signal’s quality
- Green when signal is good
- Yellow when signal is usable
- Orange when signal is poor
- Purple when position is last known
- Red when GPS signal is not available
Note: only Top speed will show on the "Edge 130" and "Edge 130 plus" devices because their screen only have two colors (black and white) and no Heading colors for the same reason.
It runs on almost all Garmin watches and Edge devices released since 2018 that support data fields, total count of 157 different devices as of last update (I have tested only on simulator expect for one model tested on real device so please kindly report any issue so I can fix it)
Suggestions and comments are the most welcome.
