About

This field allows to display the total distance and current speed computed from power. The field uses metric units (km, m and km/h). It's useful i.e. for indoor bikes and spinning bikes that measure power but don't measure speed nor distance. Please note that the values are estimated and the inertia is not taken into account (the current speed comes directly from the current power). Computation is done based on: https://www.gribble.org/cycling/power_v_speed.html Estimation assumes no wind, no hill. Bike weight is 10kg and and the rider weight is taken from the user profile. The field writes to Connect app, however the main distance needs to be adjusted manually (Garmin issue).
