Yardage traveled app?

Former Member over 4 years ago

I would like to know if there is a way to simply track yards from point “A”. I hit golf balls in my back yard and would like to be able to quickly determine how far the good ones go!

You could use my back to start app https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/ce2cb5dc-7625-4dc1-853a-71af85b7b1e3

Add the data field to your activity and then press start at point A and have a look at the distance at point B. My app shows the distance in miles or kilometers. There might be other apps in the store that show the distance in yards.

Thank you! I have it downloading now.

So you only need to see (current) distance to start in yards?

You can use my datafield AppBuilder 5 and one of the following formulas:

DistanceToStart_raw * 0.9144

DistanceToLapStart_raw * 0.9144

In this context "distance to (lap) start" is the straight-line distance as the crow flies. The first formula gives you the distance to the activity start, and the 2nd gives you the distance to the start of the current lap.
