Data Field: Dozen Run Fields

Dozen Run, Swim, Paddle and Cycle Data Fields
After others are forcing you to pay for these applications, so I decided to make a great data field(s) and then keep them free. I'm a Software engineer, sponsored runner and run coach, I combined my engineering and running knowledge to bring you these streamline applications.

I put thousands of hours of bench and field testing these simple applications. So, consider a small donation.

Install Instructions:
This Data field needs to be added to the (specific) app within your watch to view.

This is a data field not an application and needs to be added to a single data screen within an application.
a.) Goto settings,apps,run,data screen,screen 1
b.)Set Layout to 1 Field
c.) Set Field 1 to ConnectIQ Fields, DozenRun
d.) run happy!

INSTALL ISSUES:
-"!" Issue: If you receive a "!", completely uninstall, reboot and then reinstall. The Setting file changed and the automated Garmin install is not replacing the setting file.
-Download Issue: if you have the "App requires an update before install", hard reboot your watch TWICE and install again.
-TIMER Issue: If you update/install and you see the TIMER and don't see the Dozen data field.
--The data field update or install may require a restart of watch.
--Or the data field needs added to the built-in application, again.

These are becoming a Data Field Suite, where all field are similar making it easier to read while in an activity.

The Dozen fields are intended for training, the data field works fine for speed work, track or races, but readability in these conditions maybe tougher.




IMPORTANT: If you have a Question, recommendation or problem.
Please provide as much as possible (for example the following):


1.) Watch type, Watch firmware version and ConnectIQ version.
2. programmed from Garmin Connect (phone type) or Garmin Express
3.) Which data field
4.) description of issue
5.) if its a "!" error include the error log from your watch. Connect your watch to a PC using USB cable. The error log is located x:\GARMIN\APPS\LOGS. copy the listing and paste in the post.

Description for all fields
--All watch types are support for all data fields. Coded simple to keep bugs at minimum.
-Race Prediction completely configurable for any distance. Distance is entered in meters. Enter 1%-2% longer distance to adjust for normal GPS error and better race prediction.
-Cadence either from watch, footpod or crank cadence. Color coded to provide instant readability
-Heart Rate field is configurable to several methods: calculation (default), manual entered max HR, or individual zones Color coded to provide instant readability
-Pace/Speed is a rolling average to give a smooth reading configurable from 1 second to 120 seconds (Metric or statute by user setting)
-Distance is the total distance for the activity (Metric or statute by user setting)
-Timer is the actual time of the active time. Not Elapsed time.
- Battery meter uses the entire screen for reliability and acts as a divide to help focus one the upper fields.
-Avg Pace\Speed is a Garmin's provided datafield. (Metric or statute by user setting)
-Calories is the activity calories.
-Elevation based on Garmin's values. (Metric or statute by user setting)
-Time of day either in 12hr or 24 hour (based on user setting)
-(Fenix3/920)Auto background color Black or White background based on app settings
-(230/235) Configurable background color Black or White background (user configuration)
-GPS uses same indicator as iPhone for GPS signal. 5=full, 4=usable, 3=poor, 2=unused, 1= last location & 0 = no GPS
-Blue Tooth connectivity is shown as a blue "B"
-Paddle Stroke distance is a calculated by actual speed / cadence. Displayed in Meters/Feet.

    Any way to make the hr zones configurable?
  • Wow, that looks great, thanks ! Will try it ASAP on my FR230.
  • Looking pretty good although the 215x180 resolution vs the 218x218 resolution chops off the bottom part. Could you maybe switch CAD and TOD ?

    Thanks for checking it out,
    Yeah, the 230/630 has significantly less area and is completely cutting off 3 fields.
    The Dozen fields was designed for the D2 and fenix3, but I'll make something for you, and the 230/630 users.

    I was able to move the fields around. no code changes, for now I created a new project for the Forerunner 23x/630. Likely i will merge into one and check watch type.
    I placed the PRG file here http://www.fbbbrown.com/?page_id=1784

    At this time no. Can I ask, what zone ranges are you looking for?
  • Thanks for the FR230 version, loaded and it looks fine, a tad on the small side maybe for the text ;-) Might be difficult to read at night, especially with the ridiculous "backlight" of the FR230/FR630 ! Will report back once I've tried it on the road, thanks again.

    I updated to the larger fonts.

    The zones that go with my heart rate! I have a much higher max than the formulas call for.
  • Very good job.

    You can use larger fonts for CAD and CAL if you put the letters verticaly after the numbers.
  • Yep works well,thanks, but it is a bit hard to read in the heat of the action ;-)

    I'd vote for CAL to be removed to make more room for CAD and possibly put HR at the top to give it as much room as possible ;-)

    Thanks!

    Thanks so much for this data field! It's my favorite out of the "information overload" downloads. I do agree that calories would be the one stat that could be removed if it means larger space and better readability for cadence or HR.
