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.

  • Anyone here use the Kayaking app and having reboots during activity on the F3? I'm trying to see whats causing it, was thinking a memory issue with the F3 and this app?

    EDIT: after some digging I've established that the problem started after the fenix3 7.36b update, which introduced "improved pace for paddlesports". I wonder if that smoothing of the pace uses additional memory resources and when used in conjunction with the dozen paddle app can cause a crash?


    send me a fit file that had an issue. i will see if i can work around the problem. also send an error.log found under \apps\log
    thanks.
  • Thank you sir! I've attached the files.
  • Thank you sir! I've attached the files.

    Thanks peteholloway for your help I corrected the problem. Look for the updated version 1.2.4.
  • I've updated it, thanks! I'll use it tomorrow again and report back...
  • I don't know if this is an issue at your end or with GC - but I have updated and the new version shows it is 1.3.8 for dozenbikes, however in GC it still shows there is an update available.

    I see the version update too, but not sure what i can do for this one.

    I tested the updated Paddling datafield today... did a 1 hour paddle with no issues. Thanks!

    I see some comments a few pages back on whether or not you get the current pace from the footpod.

    Can the latest version pull this data and what should I set the rolling average pace to in DRF so it will reflect the footpod?

    Thanks

    The data field grabs the pace from the Garmin Pace data, so that means if you have your watch is set to report from GPS pace or footpod pace. the data field will show that data.

    Thanks for confirming.

    So if using a footpod should I set the pace interval to 0 or 1 so it's instant rather than the default 12 seconds?

    Thanks again
