Targets + Running Dynamics
· v0.2.6
About
A fixed layout that allows 7 data fields to be displayed in one screen. It is recommended to use this data field in a "one-field layout". Otherwise it won't look nice.
For most available fields (check below), you can set a target, and the color of the border will show you how close you are to the target.
e.g. If you choose:
- Target speed = 13.0 km/h
- Tolerance = 0.2 km/h
Then the border color will be:
- GREEN = "on target" = if current speed between 12.8 and 13.2
- YELLOW = "almost on target" = if current speed between 12.6 and 12.8 or 13.2 and 13.4
- ORANGE = "high" = if current speed between 13.4 and 13.6
- RED = "too high" = if current speed greater than 13.6
- BLUE = "low" = if current speed between 12.4 and 12.6
- DARK BLUE = "too low" = if current speed less than 12.4
.
Use the settings on Garmin Express or Garmin Connect Mobile to configure the fields, the targets and the tolerances.
