Hi hundsmiachn,

I'm using HMs #2 for Activity Data and I want to use second Data Field (HMs #3) for Navigation Data, but I can't use more than one Data Field (Configuration) in the Activity on the Garmin FR245 (5.00), and even if I use only the Navigation Data none of them is working (Name of the Next, Time to next, etc.).(If configure Stock Data Screen with the same Data, they just work fine).

Do only the 'xx to next point' fields not work, or all of them (altitude...)? Could you try it wit the 'xx to destination' fields?

I remember a bug in the SDK where these values are not provided correctly.

hundsmiachn over 4 years ago in reply to slash

It seems you are refering to display data of a course. When I remember correctly datafields do not have access to these data, except the garmin internal ones.

slash over 4 years ago in reply to hundsmiachn

Yes, I want to display the Course Data. Other Data are working just fine (Time of Day, Altitude).

slash over 4 years ago in reply to hundsmiachn

Data "xxx to Destination" don't work either...

hundsmiachn over 4 years ago in reply to slash

Unfortunately there is nothing I can do, seems the bug is still open in the SDK:

I am having a problem with the Odometer. I suspect it may be related to the fact I am using miles, not kilometers. The basic problem is the odometer does not add the full miles I ride. It seems to loose around 8%. I ran a test where I reset the odometer and recorded data for 3 rides.

Start End
Meters Miles Ride Meters Miles Loss
5008938 3112 24.14 3134 2.14 8.86%
3134 50.81 5118875 3181 3.81 7.50%
5118875 3181 34.6 5169591 3212 3.6 10.40%

total 109.55 9.55 8.72%

There are certainly some round off issues as I had no decimal display on the odometer, but it is clear it misses miles on each ride. After the three rides the odometer should have read 3222 instead of the 3212 which it did. Is there any change this can get fixed? Or should I just give up on the odometer function.

I have had this issue with the odometer all along, too! Never did the math but it loses all the time. I just redo the number once in a while but if it could be fixed it’s be great:)
