BigScreen is a ConnectIQ datafield for Edge devices that implements many screens and many datafields in a highly configurable way. Essentially, it replaces the Garmin datafield user interface on an Edge device. The goal is to make better use of the screen resolution, colors and processing power of modern Edge cycling computers, while retaining the familiar grid layout.
I was able to get multi-screen to work properly from a single instance. So there is one BigScreen datafield instance and you can page through up to 4 screens of datafields using the Edge up/down buttons. Each screen can be customized independently.
The main features are:
- Screens and datafields are configured from your phone through ConnectIQ settings.
- Screen settings are saved into up to 10 slots.
- One Bigfield datafield supports 4 Edge screens and switch screens using up/down buttons.
- The layout of each screen can be chosen from a list of standard layouts or customized.
- Up to 18 datafields per screen using 6 rows x 3 datafields.
- Each datafield can be selected from 70+ metrics.
- Datafields use the largest font to fill the available space.
- Configurable zones and background colors for Power, HR and Custom datafields.
- Short or long labels per datafield with optional icons.
- Settings persist across BigScreen updates.
It's currently in beta testing. You can find it here. Thanks!
