  • Clap for the Description!

  • Another Suggestion:
    In many other Custom Datafields is used "Pointer/Indicator" of Actual HR Zone (small Triagle, or Line) in the HR Gauge (or on Fenix 6 in Cadence Gauge). Would it be possible to add it for Arch or for Rectangle (X; Y; Start Angle; End Angle; Radius)? (The Resolution should be 0.1 of HR Zone). It's quite important f. E. by Running when my HR is on the Edge between Z3.9 - Z4.1 . 

  • Hello and thank you for this amazing piece of work.

    I have a quick question, I have a fenix 3 hr and I have setup an almost perfect (for me) datafield with your software. I am using 13 metrics for my mountain bike datafield, everything is working as it should, except for two metrics which should be available but are considered medium memory: temperature and gradient. In other data screens I have them showing with no issues but in the designer I am not able to select them (this is a low memory device from the template). I tried to "fool" the designer by selecting a fenix 5, changing the fields and coping the code, but it doesn't work, I get zeroes where the values should be. Is there a way to add these two metrics on the fenix 3 hr profile on the designer (the drop down menu)? Since I have them working on the garmin datascreens I think they should work on the diy datafield if I could "call' them the right way. I do not use any graphs, addaptive colours or labels, and I could remove some other fields if I could get those 2 instead, in order to decrease the memory demands.

  • Hi

    You cannot "trick" any values into the datafield. The config string is the same for ALL devices, its just a preview you are tricking. The values are simply not implemented in the low mem code, all values show 0 by default. Any line of code needs some memory and at the moment there are 27-30 elements possible with the low mem devices.

    But I will take a look how much memory would be needed to move these 2 values to low mem.

    Please post your xml, then I will try it with your layout.

    regards

    Erich

  • New version 2.9.7 available on ALL clones.

    http://public.stattegg.info/HM_DIYD_2.9.7.zip

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    2.9.7
    * fixed bug where element was not hidden, even when dynamic color was set to hidden
    * added gradient, temperature to low mem devices
    * removed date replacement ($Y, $N, $D) from low mem devices to make space for gradient, temperature
    Please inform me if this is needed in a low mem device!

    : Please check if temperature value is shown. 
    If not, it is not possible to add temperature to low mem, because then it would need a background process, and that would need way too much memory.
    (There are two different ways to get temperature depending on device)

  • It would be cool if someone would post a screenshot with a graph "in action". I could then add it to the app screenshots.

  • I have trouble with showing "Name of next point" - does one need to do something special to get this to work? It is shown in the custom layout in the top black bar (empty in screen shot - compare with navigation view below ("Route"):

    In the black area at the bottom above the direction traveling ("E"), I get "170:20" which should be "ETA next p. (curr sp)". Format is $m:$C - however this does not match Garmin's "Time to next". Any suggestions as to what is wrong?

    Wishes:

    • Can we get today's steps as % of today's goal?
    • And Training load (or is this unavailable?)
  • Hi

    ETA is not time to next. ETA means estimated time of arrival, this is the time you will arrive, not the time till you arrive!

    (1170:20 means you will arrive at 19:30)

    Name of next point I take directly from the SDK. But I read that on some devices the distances are not shown correctly, maybe there is a problem with the names too.

    Steps% should be no problem.

    Training load is not possible, this value is not public I think.

    I wonder, does anyone get "Name of destination" or "Name of next point" correct on his device?

  • So there is no "time to next point"? I want to see on the DYI face when navigation has my next turn coming up.

    Hmm, I will test to see if I can make something come up.

    If training load is not available, would you re-consider something like this: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/f275eca7-701a-4db8-b3da-d0ea8fd7955c#0  ?
