Wind/Kite Surfing Datafield
· v1.5.1-upd6
About
This datafield has been made for Windsurfing or Kitesurfing. It displays the best 2s, 10s and 5x10s. It also shows all 5 best 10s individually. There can be only one 10s per run/leg. One run ends after a turn or when the speed falls below 8 knots. The speeds are show in knots or kph. If a fast enough jibe has been detected, then it shows also the lowest jibe speed.
It is suggested to use a 1-field layout. Then it alternates between two screens. One that shows 2s, 10s and 5x10s and another one that shows all 5 10s individually. The colors indicate how close they are to each other. The greener the bars are, the closer they are to each other and the better. That way it is easy to see if there are for example 2 bad ones, which need to be improved.
If the speed goes over 16.52 knots (30.6 km/h), then the datafield shows the current speed. After a run is finished, which is usually after a turn, then it shows the fastest 10s of that last run. The labels are either 10s_1, 10s_2, 10s_3, 10s_4 or 10s_5 if the 5x10s has been improved. If the 5x10s has not been improved, then it shows Last 10s.
IMPORTANT: this is a datafield and not an app! You have to add it to an existing activity profile. It is suggested to create a new activity profile based on the sport "Other". See the instructions below.
