Description
This datafield shows live climbing rate / vertical speed / VAM (velocita ascensionale media, ital.). It does this much better than the stock vertical speed data fields, which seems to rely on GPS data (at least on older devices), which is the worst sensor for the job. A gradient field is also

Definitely my most used and appreciated data field with the Lap VAM as well. So sad not to be able to download the Lap VAM on my Forerunner 965. Would it be possible to add this device please ? Thank you very much.
Please add the option to save the data in fit file
Works well and a good replacement for the unreliable Garmin version.
Great tool! I am generally a big fan of the concept "VAM", for I am one of these unlucky persons not having a power meter. I's a really good pacing tool on (primarily long) climbs, and in some cases even better than the power estimation data fields you can get, since it generally is less spiky.
Very useful tool! This is the second best method after powermeter for pacing on hill climbs and also to train using power on hill climbs. On my bikes without powermeter I use this APP to estimate my power output on the hill climbs. I use it for grades bigger than 5%, then my speed is below 15km/h, means wind resistance can be neglected. I made a chart based on my weight + bike weight and used tools on the internet (bikecalculator) to correlate VAM to power out put.
