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.

    Hi, about time someone consolidated the important fields. Just one suggestion, many guys don't have cadence meters, or if your on a mountain bike on a trail, it's impossible to maintain cadence.

    Would be nice as a Dozen MTB datascreen, to have average heart rate instead of cadence.
    Thx

    It's called Dozen RUN fields - not dozen cycle field. That cadence field is for running cadence which many of these watches support so is definitely a good field to have.

    Thanks, Cool Idea! :cool:
    That's not hard to add and I'll keep that in mind when I update again. This would be an auto detect field, since the value may be a NULL (no value) and I would switch in a different value and text label.

    EDIT!! Done! check app store for bike data field for the 23x/63x and it does what you asked. Fenix users I will be updating soon after I try it out. (need a non-snowy day)

    going back to defaults helped.

    The android connect is known for issues. For the android install, try to uninstall, reinstalled and use the defaults.
    Better option is to use Garmin express.
    If you can post the contents of garmin\apps\log. So I can address the android issue. Note I don't have an android phone so I cannot test it.


    Hi,
    resetting to the defaults made it work again.
    This is the log i have:

  • Hi these are great data fields. Would it possible in the cycling one to change the altitude field from the current altitude to meters climbed? I would find that of more interest.

    Appears to be a null value coming from the connect custom values. I've made changes to prevent the crash"!" But I can't prevent the bad values coming from connect. I will update on Monday.
  • Dozen Cycle for fenix3
    I found a bug within the SDK that allowed a bad format, that caused the dreaded "!".
    update to 1.3.4. that will correct the issues.
    1.3.4
    addes
    avg heartrate to upper left field if no cadence is detected
    lower left field is configurable. Calories or total ascent
  • Thanks for adding total ascent! Really appreciated.

    White bg and some ideas

    As of two versions ago the background is configurable. Try updating the data field if there is still an issue, reply here. thanks


    By some reason, the option was not there.
    But I deleted GQE (eventhough it was the newest version).
    And reinstalled it. Now it works and I "found" the white background.

    This data screen is the best!

    If you however are looking for improvement ideas for the run field:

    Add option of rolling/rotating fields (user edits in GQE)
    In such a way that
    Avg speed or Lap speed orLap + Avg speed with 8 sec rotation Avg speed in black, lap speed in red.
    Same goes for distance
    Where you would have a similar fileld as the hFinish mini [
  • 920XT Borometer / GPS / CAD display

    First, thanks for this great datafield !

    I am using 920XT version and I think I have a little problem for the display of barometer / gps / Cal : all the 3 datas are shown in the same time !
    I try to change in the parameter via Connect IQ, but it displays always the 3 datas.

    I've got Firmware 6..20.

    Thanks, check back for an update. I fixed the bug.

    Also, corrected the background color selection. I thought this was a changeable item in the 920xt. Now this is configurable in Connect or Garmin Express.
