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.

    can't see the data field at all - Same Issue

    Same problem here - there's no "app" on the watch to select. I also have a data field that apparently no longer exists that works fine but doesn't show up on my apps list. No problem at all with watch faces; they load and can easily be selected and used. Curious...



    Hi,
    I just purchased the 235 and I downloaded Dozen Run Fields, together with another one on the IQ Store. I used the Mobile Connect on the phone to install, not the cable.
    The thing is, can't see how to enable it anywhere. I do not have any "app" to click inside setting nor on the data field menu.
    That's very weird especially considering that I used always MObile Connect to install successfully Widgets and Watch face.
    Anyone had the same problem? I already tried twice to unstall and install again... Any suggestion?
    Please help thanks!

    It's a DATA FIELD. You need to configure 1 FIELD in your Run / activity settings (1 data screen, 1 layout) and set Dozen as field.

    Yep... that works just fine. You have to use a "1 field" setting because Dozen's really big. Replaces the entire standard screen.

  • Thanks Ralf, I think I can fit that in. It will be a selectable option and the current "Heart Rate" will be the default.

    I would love this as well. Any update on when this will be available? Thanks for all your work!
  • Great apps BTW. They really are awesome!

    On the dozen bike fields, is there a way to allow 2 decimal points of the distance to always be seen? Initially you see two decimal points, but once you get over 20 (I think at 10, 2 decimal points are still visible) you only see 1 decimal place. I did a 90 mile ride at the weekend, but if you go over 100 miles does that mean you don't see any decimal point?
  • it a matter of, how many characters can be viewed. the field only can fit 4 characters "0.00", "00.0" and "000". The other option was to reduce the font but the small font is to hard to read.

    Is it/would it be possible to reduce just the first number? The standard fields which the fenix use have this feature. Obviously I don't know how it would look and it could make it unreadable, however the time and altitude fields are small but still readable.

    Just a thought!

    just downloaded

    Thanks for this, is there any way to make each main field configurable with standard data ?

    Fenix 3 HR

    Not for the fenix, maybe the edge. Garmin only allows 16k of memory for a data field, and Edge has 128K is available for that device. Coding for completely configurable data field would require more memory.

    There are Connect IQ applications that claim to be completely configurable, but you will have to pay $$.
