Data field: Snapshot

Former Member

A simple unified CIQ data field showing various information you might need out on your run for the Forerunner 230/235/630/735XT.





Snapshot One: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/f34a6b64-d23a-4764-b494-3458ca9efe2b
Snapshot Two: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/cbc0bc84-be76-4ae6-b8e1-d5cf943e6c2b

Snapshot One and Two are identical. With both installed you can set up two screens with different Snapshot information, providing you with additional ways to customise your watch.

The top 4 fields allow you to select from: distance, current pace, lap pace
  • , average pace, heart rate, average heart rate, cadence, and average cadence. The bottom field shows either the timer or total time (i.e. pauses ignored), with the option to additionally see time-of-day and battery percent.

    All fonts are deliberately large enough to read while out running (for me at least). The background colours are customisable in a way that I find helps visibility and looks better with the backlight.


  • Garmin doesn't provide access to lap pace so I calculate it based on a user-specified recurring lap distance. This may or may not match the lap/interval alerts you have set on your watch. There's currently no way for Snapshot to know that information unfortunately.

    *** IF YOU’RE HAVING PROBLEMS PLEASE DON’T LEAVE A BAD REVIEW *** This field is a labour of love that I wrote for myself that i’m happy to make available in the store for others to use. I can fix bugs and consider enhancements if you leave a post here.

    The code for Snapshot is now publicly available at https://github.com/darrencroton/Snapshot.

    No joy, even after a full factory reset. Even with that being the only app and with no settings changes, it crashes as soon as the activity is started.

    Hi David. That's a shame. I'm not sure where the problem is for you. Something is clearly being retained on the watch after the reset (you can see that just from the fact that the FW doesn't downgrade to the one that was there when you bought it), and whatever that is is perhaps connected to the problem. I still haven't had any other reports of issues from other users or crashes on my own watch. Wish i was able to help more.

    sorry - by "no settings changes" - I mean no alterations to the snapshot fields etc. The watch goes back to the base FW.

    No problem. Just was a nice field when it worked.
