Hi everyone,
I would like to share my new custom data field built specifically for mountain and ultra runners: Ultra-Trail Dashboard.
As a trail runner, I was frustrated by how jumpy and erratic Garmin's native instant grade can be on technical terrain. To solve this, I built a tailored 4-quadrant dashboard focused on stability and pacing.
Key Features:
- Smoothed Grade (%): Uses a configurable moving-average window to deliver a highly stable slope percentage, avoiding sudden spikes;
- GAP (Grade Adjusted Pace): Calculates your flat-equivalent pace using the scientific Minetti model to manage your effort during steep climbs/descents;
- Native FIT File Logging: The GAP metric is written directly into the activity file, so you can analyze your GAP chart on Garmin Connect and Strava post-run;
- Visual Slope Alerts: Text colors dynamically shift when climbing above 12% and 20% for quick effort assessment;
- Battery-Efficient & Private: Fully adaptive layout for MIP/AMOLED screens (respecting system themes) and 100% offline.
Supported Devices:
Optimized for fenix 8, fenix 7/6 series, epix Gen 2 / Pro, Enduro 1/2/3, tactix 7/8, and high-end Forerunner models (965, 955, 945, 265, 255).
