Large time and distance in one line
· v0.1.1
About
Reverting back to 0.0.8 as the experimental version was totally broken.
Shows both time and distance in one line, and in a larger font. Updated to work with SDK 1.2.3 by just using the built in fonts. The middle field is pretty cramped but shows time on the left and distance on the right in a font large enough for people with less than perfect vision.
Use in the middle data field if you want a large font, or in the top or bottom data fields for a smaller font.
I'm looking for any and all feedback, but can only respond to feedback you give in the forum at: https://forums.garmin.com/showthread.php?315231-BRIANBAN-datafields-watchfaces-and-apps.
Changes in this version:
Reverting back to the 0.0.8 version.

* Totally broken

0.0.8
* Updated to SDK 1.2.3
* Uses only built in fonts to avoid out of memory errors
* Labels removed. Time is on the left and distance on the right. Distance uses km or miles depending on your watch settings.

* Only works with Vivoactive

* Added support for all the square watches
0.0.2

For developers trying to do the same kind of thing as this. If you're trying to implement your own font using the SDK, you need to create bitmaps using http://www.angelcode.com/products/bmfont which luckily runs fine under Wine for non-Windows people. The Monkey C Programmers' Guide talks you through the process.
Please give any feedback or support requests in the forum at: https://forums.garmin.com/showthread.php?315231-BRIANBAN-datafields-watchfaces-and-apps I can't answer or support any comments in the reviews sorry - Garmin doesn't allow this.
I haven't had a lot of time to look at this recently, so I've made the source code available on Gitlab at https://gitlab.com/nz_brian/garmin.datafield.timeanddistance . Please feel free to clone and please let me know if you create anything cool so that I can install it.
