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.

    App not found

    I loaded this app onto Garmin Express and synced with my watch. It shows on my list of apps but cannot be found on my watch or even when I choose the Rearrange applications! Its very strange. I've tried several things. Turned watch off and on. Took it "off" watch (even though I can't even see it) synced multiple times but to no avail. Any ideas or suggestions?

    It's a data field, not an app.

    Where do you find it then? Its not under data fields on the Garmin run app either!

    Before you will find it in the Run App, you need to add it to the Run App... in my fenix3 it's settings > Apps > Run > Data Screens > Screen 1 > Layout select 1 Field layout > the Select Field 1 and add DozenRun from the list in ConnectIQ Fields

    Nope. Thats not an option for the Forerunner 235. I think I will message the developer. I can find the data fields under the run app on the watch but no way to add these new data fields. No where under the IQ apps is it showing.

    Have you tried:

    Select Menu > Activity Settings > Data Screens.
    Select a screen.
    Some screens can only be turned on or off.

    If necessary, edit the number of data fields.
    Select a data field to change it.

    You only get three fields to choose from under that setting area. It seems that I am suppose to add the data fields somewhere but no one seems to know how on the 235. I'm not sure this is compatible with the 235. I emailed the developer and he doesn't know either. I think the assumption was it was the same as the fenix and its not.

    ANYONE that has loaded it on the 235 I would LOVE to hear from you!

    I have the 235 and it works nicely . RUN>ACtivity settings>Data Screens>Screen 1>Layout <------click here THEN use the UP and Down to set the number of fields - when it' 1 press - the go back button -- then click on the Field 1 and search for the >>Connect IQ 1/2 added<< field .

    If it's not there try resetting the watch and redownloading perhaps

    Thank you! It wasn't quite as you listed. It is actually Menu/then activity settings and then everything else as follows! I am anxious to get the fields set up! Appreciate your response very much! Hope all other 235's find it!

    Now that I have loaded the data fields it seems there is an issue with viewing! It seems to cut off the top row from full veiwing. I've attatched a photo of my watch.
