Data Field: AppBuilder

difbasdjkl said:

AppBuilder 5+ is not available for my fenix 6 sapphire in the Garmin IQ Shop.

It should be available now as far as I know.

OK, got it! - IQShop had my old watch in mind. Now I changed it to fenix 6 sapphire - and it works!

By the way: I couldn't find out what the difference is between appbuilder 5 and appbuilder 5+.

Is there a link where I can read about?

Regards

AppBuilder 5 is a "simple data field" which displays one formula / value, and runs on all watches.

AppBuilder 5+ is a "complex full-screen data field" which displays 2 to 6 formulas (on a single page), and only runs on high end watches, due to the memory requirements associated with supporting 6 formulas and drawing all 6 fields in the app. (AppBuilder 5 relies on the watch to draw the field, which saves memory, but which also means that it can only display one value.)

The main reason to prefer 5+ is that Garmin watches have a limit of 2 IQ fields per activity, so full-screen data fields like 5+ allow you to display more custom information than simpler data fields.

You can install up to 2 copies of AppBuilder 5 in a single activity, for a total of 2 custom formulas.

Or you can install up to 2 copies of AppBuilder 5+ in a single activity, for a total of 12 custom formulas.

Wow!!!

I hadn't dared ask about it,

but that makes my christmas wishes come true!!!!!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Great job!

Good morning, I tried to create a formula (in appbuilder5+ for FR 745 ) to have a sorta of "virtual racer" between current lap and last lap , to have the difference of current lap time and last lap time at the same lap distance. This formula don't works, what is wrong? Is it possible to have a working formula ? Thank you very much.

SETV(1,LASTLAP(LAPDISTANCE)*1000);SETV(3,PREVD(LAPTIME,GETV(1),1000,1));LAPTIME-GETV(3)

Unfortunately that won't work, as the 2nd argument to PREVD (distance) is meant to be a non-null constant, not a dynamic value such as the distance of the last lap.

The only way I can see this working is to set a different variable for every metre of lap distance, which would take a huge amount of memory and would probably have no chance of working on anything but the highest end devices (e.g. Fenix 6X). Or we could compromise and round to the nearest 10 metres.

This should work although I haven't tested it. If you run out of memory, change "10" to a higher number. e.g. For accuracy to 50 metres, substitute 50 for 10 below.

setv(if(lapdistance_raw gte 10, (lapdistance_raw - 10) div 10, null), prevd(laptime, 10)); laptime - getv(lapdistance_raw div 10)

Hi FlowState!

"Time to Next + Timer" 

what is wrong with that? 

thanks!

Until "TimetoNextPoint" can be used, alternatively and approximately, the arrival time "TimeratNextPoint" can be calculated through:

"((distanceToNextPoint_raw / timeavg (speed_raw, 60,0,1)) + ElapsedTime) / 60"

or:

"((distanceToNextPoint / (lapdistance / laptime)) + ElapsedTime) / 60"

I hope you find it useful!

Another longing overcome thanks to @FlowState: the expected pace on the course.

I usually plan my mountain routes with PlotARoute, including waypoints with planned time in the description.

So I missed being able to see on the watch the time of arrival at each waypoint, and the pace expected in the current section.

---------

ETE_AT_NEXT:
((distanceToNextPoint_raw/timeavg(speed_raw, 60,0,1))+ElapsedTime) / 60

or:
((distanceToNextPoint/(lapdistance / laptime))+ElapsedTime) / 60

or entering the data manually:
(setv(1,8.00);setv(2,10.00);setv(n,ritmo min/km);getv(findltindex(distance,3.0,15.0,"n"km)+1)*60*DistanceToNextPoint)+ElapsedTime

PROG_PACE:
Flat Pace 6 min/km, every 1m+ 10m flat, every 1m- 4.5m flat:
setv(1,TIMEAVG((Altitude_raw - PREVN(Altitude_raw, 12)) / (Distance_raw - PREVN(Distance_raw, 12)) *100, 60,0,1));IFS(getv(1) gte 0, 60/(6+0.6*getv(1)), getv(1) lt 0, 60/(6-0.27*getv(1))) + " | " + timeavg(speed, 60,0,1)

or::
setv(1,TIMEAVG((Altitude_raw - PREVN(Altitude_raw, 12)) / (Distance_raw - PREVN(Distance_raw, 12)) *100, 30,0,1));IFS(getv(1) gte 0, 60/(6+0.6*getv(1)), getv(1) lt 0, 60/(6-0.27*getv(1))) + " | " + (lapdistance * 3600/ laptime)

or entering the data manually:
setv(1,8.10);setv(2,9.30);setv(n,ritmo km/h);getv(findltindex(distance,2.49,5.30,"n"km)+1)
