Description
===== IMPORTANT! This is a Data Field not an App! See installation instructions at the bottom of description ===== A Data Field that shows your activity trail / track with customisable, removable fields. Useful for not getting lost when running, walking or biking in new areas, out on the trails or just if you like to see your route. Zoom in by pressing the pause button twice within 5s! If you find this Data Field useful and would like to thank me by way of a coffee or a cold one: paypal.me/BenjaminHpay This datafield only shows the path already travelled, it does not show pre-downloaded routes or provide waypoint navigation other than back to start. If you're looking for a data field that shows a route to follow for navigation, check out RouteIT here: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/3c80fecc-c7e5-484c-bb91-5ea49b7833d7 Features: - Activity start location as a green square - A simple line trail of your path since activity start (last minute of activity shown by red line)** - Your current position and bearing shown with a red arrow - A maximum of 10 laps shown by blue squares. (Due to memory constraints, after 10 laps, the oldest saved lap will be overwritten) - Up to 8* configurable datafields - Optional HR Zone graphic with current zone enlarged and heart rate in zone indicated by line on graphic - Current map scale in km (This indicates the distance shown for the entire screen width) - Optional background colour for speed/pace datafields (red if under pace, green if on and blue if greater than 10s above pace) - Different configuration options for 3 different activities (run,bike and other) - The map is North-up orientated and will rescale to keep the entire activity in-screen at all times - Zoom feature: pressing the pause button twice within 5 seconds will zoom in on the current location for a 20 second duration - Datafields can be hidden in settings by setting to "None" to make the map full-screen - Datafield only supports single field view - Miles or km units set automatically in watch settings *6 datafields on smaller devices such as Vivoactive 4s. Forerunner 735xt is limited to 5 due to screen shape and size ** A note on the track...memory constraints allow for a maximum of 200 GPS coordinates to be stored. These are continuously parsed to allow for data to be stored throughout the duration of the activity. This means that as an activity progresses, saved coordinates have a longer interval between them. For example, at activity start, coordinates are saved every 2s, at 15 minutes they are saved every 8s, and by two hours coordinates will only be saved every 1 minute. Thus, the line will lose detail over time, and may show as a sequence of straight lines when you zoom later in the activity, rather than a detailed curve. Configurable datafields include: - Current Pace - Average Pace - Average Speed - Current Speed - Lap Pace - Lap Speed - Current Cadence - Average Cadence - Elapsed Time - Lap Time - Distance - Lap Distance - Current Heart Rate - Average Heart Rate - Max Heart Rate - Lap Count - Altitude - Total Activity Ascent/Descent - Distance to Start - Clock - Battery Percentage Installation Instructions: This is a ConnectIQ Data Field not an app. After installation, navigate to the Garmin activity app that you want this datafield to display for, such as Run, Bike, Walk etc. Before starting the activity, open settings, select "Data screens", select the desired data screen you want to display this datafield on (screen 1, screen 2...). Set layout to 1 field, then select "Edit Datafield" and look for MapIT under the ConnectIQ fields.
