This app provides to the cyclist the traditional analog speedometer with large scale digits and with set of additional features:

* Analog arrow points to the Current Speed.
* Green sector or triangle index indicates Average Speed.
* Red sector or triangle index indicates Max Speed.
* The large digit in the center is used as a backup of current speed in digital representation.
* Field below analog scale indicates Current Cadence.
* First additional field from the left is used to show Travelled Distance.
* The second one - is the activity Timer.
* The box at the right indicates current Heart Rate and HR Zones. For the current zone it also shows the time-in-zone.
* Red GPS blinker appears in the lower left corner of the analog scale when the position accuracy became poor.
* Battery indicator flashing with red if battery is exhausted more than 90%.
* Using custom font provides better readability of important info.
* The field names are not visible when speed is above zero (to keep attention on the field values).

New feature: The analog scale can be configured by user. You can change the scale range, tick-marks number and the method of displaying average and max speeds. Read more

    layout unallowed! SOLVED!

    Hi,

    When I put SpeedCadHRZ in field 1 of a screen that has 4 fields and then I selec Layout Preview, there is the message layout unallowed in Field 1.

    I am running Software Verson 11.10, which is the latest.

    Please can you tell me what I have to do to get this working?

    Thanks,
    Rick


    So, while on the preview screen, you have to reduce the count of fields (the number is displayed in the middle of the screen) to 1 by pushing the down arrow (lower left button.
  • I also downloaded the app to my 520 device, and followed the about instructions, but the layout stayed the same and I get :layout unallowed!" for the 1st field for each of the 4 screens ?
