___ About
No more paper pace bands, no more mental maths, no more remembering split times!
PaceBand will show you your next split time, for your given pace/speed, perfect pacing!
Pace Band data field works best with running and cycling, especially marathons and sportives.
If you're running a 4:15 Marathon, you simply put your pace as 9:44 minutes per mile (or km) into the app.
Before you start PaceBand will confirm your pace setting '@ 9:44mi',
Then as you approach each mile, pace band will tell you your ETA.
Compare this with your elapsed time, to see if you're ahead/behind.
___ How to Use
1. Download to either Garmin Express or Garmin Connect app
2. Sync with your Garmin device
3. Choose your pace! In Garmin Express or Garmin Connect go to your device - Connect IQ Apps - Data Fields - Pace Band - Settings
4. Sync your new pace

This data field is best teamed with the built in elapsed time data field

What's new
v3.0.1 *** Now Time Based *** - PaceBand now shows you the next split based on the time elapsed and not distance you've travelled. This was due to poor Garmin GPS accuracy in some areas causing distance reported to PaceBand to be inaccurate by up to one or two kms when in longer races. Thanks to Marco for this!
v2.0.4 *** Performance Improvements ***
v2.0.2 *** Bug Fix *** Fixes Lap Reset bug
v2.0.1 *** Bug Fix *** Re-enlarging font sizes - Having to work around a longstanding Garmin bug which they haven't addressed, which shrinks font sizes
v2.0.0 *** New Features *** Lap Reset Mode - Now you can choose whether the Lap Button Resets the pacing
Show Prefix - Choose wether you want to show the interval number prefix before your split. Not displaying the prefix will give you bigger text and normally during a race you know what interval number you're at
