Data Field: Race Pacer

A forum to support and discuss the "Race Pacer" data field.
  • Multi-field layout displayed values

    @AnnaTseng
    Please see the updated description explaining the "multi-field" layout screens, where it displays certain values when placed in certain fields of the layout. The idea being here so you can combine "Race Pacer" with other standard Garmin fields, eg.Heart Rate...
  • v1.11 update : Added optional "Start elevation"

    Added "Start elevation" user setting. I find this useful, if like me today I started next to a large building and my fr235 GPS altitude was 200ft off!
    To use GPS current value just leave as default value "-".
  • v1.12 Update

    You may get IQ! as I have renamed the internal App setting property names to shorter names to save 0.2kb of memory. Please simply Uninstall/reinstall the datafield.

    Wish Garmin would give us just a bit more memory to play with...!

    Data Field on VA

    Hi
    How does it works on VA?

    Which data are avaiable?
    It's possible see Pacer and estimate on the same field? Do you have a screen shot of VA?

    Thanks

    Hi, I've just added a screenshot from the "simulator" for the Vivoactive. To achieve this sort of screen you would add RacePacer twice as Row1 and Row2 datafields.

    It doesn't work with my fr 235...

    HI!THANK you for the detailed instruction. I updated it to 1.17 version yesterday and tried several times, but failed again (>_<!!)

    Here is the screen shot of my fr 235, (View it directly online : http://imgur.com/VCCXZCz ) maybe you could be able to know what I did wrong or missed some critical part. As you can see from the pic that even tho I set up RACE PACER twice with both row 1& row 2, only PACER +/- value showed up but none of others. And if I set the data screen as Fullscreen field, it doesn't show all values either, but just PACER +/- value at the middle of the screen. It's very frustrating, pls help!&#8230;THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

    P.S. Could it be the language problem? I am using Traditional Chinese.

    Hi, it could be a Chinese language or a difference in the fr235 Chinese device firmware, either way the way I detect which screen layout on your device seems different.
    If I were to create a "debug" version of the program that outputs some info on the screen, would you be happy and able to give it a try please? I would send you a "debug" RacePacer.prg, you would need to side-load it via your Computer...?

    I've attached a ZIP of a debug version, RacePacerDebug.zip:
    1) Unzip RacePacerDebug.zip
    2) Uninstall "RacePacer" from your fr235
    3) Connect your fr235 to your Computer
    4) Copy RacePacer.prg from the ZIP file to your connected watch drive, Copy racePacer.prg <d:>\Garmin\Apps
    5) Disconnect fr235 from Computer
    6) Add RacePacer to your activity and test...
    7) The debug version will display "debug:" followed by a code, eg "R.5". If you could send me the output/screenshot please?
    8) Now remove debug version.... connect to your computer, Del <d:>\Garmin\Apps\RacePacer.prg
    9) Reinstall RacePacer from IQ App store...

    Thanks!

    The latest firmware version for Trational Chinese is only 3.10, does it still help for me to try debug version? If yes, I will do it tomorrow morning as it's getting late over here. Hope I can use this data field ASAP! (&#3591; •&#768;_•&#769;)&#3591;
