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.

  • 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


    set to 1 for the instantaneous pace. just for your knowledge the value will be raw from the watch and likely will bounce around. the use of a foot pod will help but i believe the raw value is choppy no matter were the data is generated from in the watch.
  • Vivoactive HR Issues

    Good afternoon,

    Firstly thanks to fbbbrown for taking the time to make these apps, the screenshots look great. I can't seem to get the Dozen Cycle app to work on my VA-HR (Software version 2.9, Garmin connect version is 3.10), and I have uploaded it via garmin express. Once loaded, I added a new single field page to my cycle profile, add the data field but I just get a black screen.

    I have tried a couple of reinstalls, from my phone and express, with no luck.

    Is there something I'm missing?

    Many thanks,
    Mike

    set the layout to 'two data' screens. That should do it!
  • It does indeed

    set the layout to 'two data' screens. That should do it!


    Cheers! Ill let you know how I find it now I can work it!
  • Cheers! Ill let you know how I find it now I can work it!


    For the va-hr what data field layout options are available? 1, 2, 4, etc? if there is an one option (entire screen) i will adjust both the run and cycle to only require one large datafield. that will free up a slot for another connectiq data field. this must of recently changed. i see an option now with the simulator, too. but i need to confirm before i make changes.
  • Time of day - font size

    Hey,
    I have the 920xt - software 8.20.
    Is it possible to slightly increase the font size of the time of day; it's the only data field I can't easily read when running. I note that some images of this field also include the gps dots below the time and some images there are no time of day dots. I can't work out how to remove the gps dots, but regardless, any capacity to increase the font would be well received.

    Many thanks for an otherwise excellent product.
  • TA Reads Zero on my VA-HR

    Awesome App! Works great on my VA-HR, however the Total Ascent (TA) field always reads 0 (zero)? I have TA on another stock screen and it works fine. Everything else seems to be good too... any ideas?

    oops, corrected with v1.1
  • @RobertRehnmark-RawViking is it not a configurable option in GarminConnectMobile/Express (it is in the Dozen Cyclefields) to flip that display between Elevation & Ascent?


    I'm likely a little late to express my opinion, but I think ascent is a little more useful than elevation too. At least if it alternated?

    Otherwise, I love this app!

    Dozen Run Rolling Pace is now a IQ graph.

    Hello
    Congratulations for your awesome data field.It is quite helpful and includes everything i need.In your latest update you mention that Run Rolling Pace is now an IQ graph.I updated the data field to 2.0.4 but i can't find the graph to connect.garmin.com.Am i doing something wrong?
