EDGE MapFields

New devices: EDGE 550, 850, MTB !

Edge Mapfields is meant for use with the mapscreen on your device.
There are 4 fields, which every field can set with many options (see below).
It's created for Edge 1030, 1040, 1050, 530 and 830, 540, 840 and Explore and Explore2

This datafield is free of charge, but if you like it and use it, it would be nice to be invited to a beer: paypal.me/AndreasWirth

After installing the datafield on your device, place a full-width field under the map. In this field you put the EdgeMapsFields.

In the setup you can choose a display for each quadrant from many different options:
see:

Both metric and statute format!

Time to Destination is calculated by your average speed. In the beginning - when no average speed is available - Time to Dest. is calculated by 10 km/h ( 6.214 mi/h).

Timer format is mm:ss for time less than one hour, and h:mm for time more than one hour.

Of course you can use this datafield on every screen with a datafield of 1/5 of the screen height.

Note: the pictures below are photoshoped to show all options on one picture.
You can only set one datafield on your device!

    Hey- yes, I understand that ^^^^ …. but the field also displays on other formats; it does not say “only available on fields 1/5 screen below the map”!  So it could look rubbish on other valid map layouts, like the 2-field view, or it could look nice.

    When you say:

    It’s unlikely that any data field would allocate just 4 fields for half the screen

    What does that mean? I already gave the example of the 2-field layout where having a map in one field and large text in another is a valid use-case.
