Chart Data Field

https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/d741d7b4-8b26-401c-a5bd-0ac91891575d

This is basically the "chart" page from Hike but as a Data Field! So you can use it with standard activities like Running and Biking.

The same basic display as Hike. The blue dot is where you started, green is where you are, and your current heading, and the chart is drawn based on your saved GPS location every minute. Due to memory constraints of a DF, it can only save about 4 hr's worth of location info (Hike can go 10+ hours).

One thing people may want is to mark where laps occurred, but right now I can't get that info, but when I can, I'll add it!

Note: if you were a beta tester, delete the file I sent you from your watch before downloading!

This needs a big data field layout, so 1 or 2 fields on a 23x/630 or 2 on a vivoactive-HR (I'm testing 1 and 2 field layouts on the vivoactive, but that's not yet available)

Please post comments and questions here!

Garmin Map (not really map but bread crumps) on my Fenix 5 can last as long and plot everything on my avg 8 hr ride. It is a data field I add onto Garmin Bike app. Same thing or how different is this app? Thanks.

It's similar to "map" on an f5 or 935, but is available for devices that don't have that, like vivoactives, the semi-round forerunners, etc.

Also, I'm not sure about the native "map" of the f5 like devices, but this DF also shows where laps occur, as well as your current heading.

PLEASE BRING IT TO THE GARMIN 6X PRO SAPPHIRE. THE IS THE BEST NAVIGATING and SIMPLEST DATAFIELD / WIDGET / APP EVER. I MISS IT ALREADY.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TILL IT IS AVAILABLE?

Regards René

It will be available very soon after I have the SDK (that could be a few days). The port will be very easy!

Glad you like it!

Could you add an option to change the end point to an arrow?

Hi Jim, the current version of this datafield does not draw the graph as expected. Formerly it was 1:1 as the turns are made in reality. Now 180 degree turns are drawn, while having had a more or less straight track. I would like to provide you with a screenshot of the Chart Data Field vs. the correct mapping in Garmin Connect. How can I hand this over?

Hi Can you make this available for the edge 1040.. really love this data field....

jim_m_58 over 2 years ago in reply to ksweber007

It's never been 1:1. It draws the chart which can be stretched right to left or up/down to use the available screen

Look for it in an hour or two.
