Description
The "Backyard Estimate" app is a simple and user-friendly tool designed to help you forecast your loop times for a Backyard Ultra race, or Hill Mile race, or any race where you start a loop at regular intervals. In Front Yard mode, the intervals may even be dynamic. By trusting the estimate, you can
What's New

(Not changing start hour) Rapid Lap 16 will start Front Yard at loop 1 at first lap press. Bug fixes Front Yard mode (dynamic loop time limit): 4 new settings. Better memory management Support for Fènix 7S Pro Improved battery indicator Better language and more languages Supporting Forerunner 165 Setting for max number of history items, also available as rapid laps. Minor improvements on the list given by 2 rapid lap press Ability to turn sound on or off without phone available. 2 Lap-press will give list of commands Added option for extra warning before loop start. Added support for automatic increase of loop length, therefore a tiny indication of distance at top. Fixed a bug causing the recent loop list to show distance in km even when miles is chosen on the watch. No blue line during breaks Information about loop times in laps under http://garminconnect.com and in phone app. Longer duration of feedback popup Give feedback on rapid Lap press, and a list of possible actions before you start the watch. Longer custom text. Language improvements. IMPORTANT change in behavior: The "double lap press" is changed to "triple", and the 10 sec limit is removed. You must press the lap button 3 times to set an offset time. Approx. 1.5 seconds between each press. 4 laps revert back to whole periods. 3.5 Improvement of .fit file: Under "Record", you will find the estimate and the flat estimate as seconds estimated. You can also see these as graphs on your activity at "https://garminconnect.com". Added info about previous loop in the lap information in the .fit file. That is helpful if the wrong loop is logged. One loop will normally be logged on several laps, since you normally would press the lap button twice per loop. If you forget one press on the lap button, you will still see the record of loops by looking at the previous loop. Added sound and vibration (if selected in settings) on new settings while the app is active. Writing loop data to the .fit file. To record the data (loop time and corresponding loop distance), you must press the lap button at start and end of each loop. Use https://garminconnect.com to download the zipped .fit file (Click the gear and export "Original"), and use https://www.fitfileviewer.com to view the Lap-section in the .zip file. You find the Loop info all to the right. The loop info will show up in all laps, and therefore it will be repeated. Using the top line of the loop graph as a mini version of the time line for the current loop, showing the red dot, and the progress of the loop. Better utilization of screen if using Extra Tiny loop history font. See settings. Added a setting for showing a list of the last few loops when in break mode. (Not replacing the current "Last" indication.) Added a graph of the recent loop times if the app is put in a data field covering the upper half of the screen. Most watches has this option for 2 or 3 field screens. You should not replace the single data screen, but add the 3-field screen, and add the Backyard Estimate App to that one. You will not duplicate the app by doing this. If showing the list of recent loops in break mode (Setting in the Connect IQ app on your phone), the same list will appear as an overlay over the graph. The image below shows the graph only. Battery optimizations. The watch now responds immediately when settings are changed. This may have side effects. Changing the Loop Distance and the Loop time limit should be done before you start the app. Added an ability to use the Lap button (once) to finish the loop. Added support for: Approach S70 Epix Pro Fenix 7 Pro Venu 3 Skipping the 3-minute and 2 minute warnings if small loop times. (25, 13 min or less.)

Fantastic work! Thank you so much!!!!
Great app, thanks! It was very convenient. However, there was a bug. On the fourth lap, we were running in the opposite direction, and the backyard estimate pace didn't match the actual pace; it was recalculated after about 2-3 km. The laps were reversed every three laps.
