About
If you like the datafield you can thank me by sending a beer: https://paypal.me/GavrielF or at least write a positive review with 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.
Datafield to display ascent, elevation gain related measures.
Ascent+ Datafield displays the elapsed ascent / remaining ascent / total ascent / elapsed ascent % / remaining ascent % given the total ascent.
Note: because Garmin doesn't provide the total ascent of a course / route the user has to set the estimated total ascent at the beginning of the course.
Note: although Garmin provides a value called "totalAscent" it is essentially the elapsed ascent (the total ascent since the beginning of the activity) so Ascent+ uses the "total ascent" as the total estimated ascent of the activity / course / route.
## Installation
This is a data field. After installing it, you have to add it to one of your activitys' layout: https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=gyywAozBuAAGlvfzvR9VZ8
