Data field: Dashboard for Edge

Former Member over 9 years ago

A dashboard for your Edge (or Epix).

You can download it here: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/444ce575-fbc3-4303-8d01-aebf15d2fe15

Featuring:

Big dial to display your current speed;
Secondary dial can display either heart rate or power;
You can choose between 24 different metrics for the other fields (except on Epix);
Display heart rate as BPM, %HRR or HR - %Max.;
Display power in Watts or %FTP

Fields to choose from:

Speed: current, average or maximum
Heart rate: current, average or maximum
Cadence: current, average or maximum
Power: current, average or maximum
Calories
Energy expenditure (if available on device)
Training effect (if available on device)
Distance
Time: timer time or total time
Altitude: current altitude, total ascent, total descent
Heading
Clock time
Battery level

You can select the data fields and set up the heart rate and power zones with app settings. How to do this is explained in this thread.

There seems to be a known problem with app-settings on the 1000 in general, and it's not app specific.

See this thread in the developer forum: https://forums.garmin.com/showthread.php?345891-Edge-1000-configurable-app-settings.

The problem has been reported to Garmin.

Garmin has received reports of the data field settings not being sent/saved on the device properly. We are actively investigating to determine the root cause so that this issue can be resolved.

For what it is worth i also can not access settings from Android at all. And from Garmin Connect, nothing I change in settings goes to Edge1000 despite synchronisation. On firmare 7.0

Not able to install Dashboard on Edge 520

What could possible be that I have done wrong? Edge 520 with f.w. 5.20.

Thanks.

Can you please release a version to allow cadence in dial 2 and speed in dial 1?

timer time, total time, elapsed time

Some verbiage discrepancies with "timer time" in the forum description and garmin express's description of "elapse time", they are the same correct?
Most helpful time option would be "lap time" and "lap power". Can we expect this in the near future?
Thanks for the great app. -Z

Dashboard shortcomings

Hi,

The idea is excellent but I still miss some things like:

- the two fields with graphic to choose from are power & speed. It would be interesting and better to let the user choose between power 1 sec, power 3 sec, power 10 sec, speed and especially heartrate. Like many people I invested in a powermeter and so power & heartrate are much more important then speed. Also the 1 sec power is jumping around and that's why people use the 3sec or 10 sec average!

- during climbs it would be nice to have the gradient. i'm not really interested in knowing that i'm at 40m above sealevel while it's more interesting to see that I'm on a 10% gradient!
- when you choose heading you don't see North but the 360°. It would be nice to let the user choose between numbers or direction.

Is it much work to make those changes?
Without those changes the Dashboard is not more then a nice idea to me.
I know making these "apps" is a lot of work but yet I hope that you can make those upgrades.

Thank you
Peter
