Data Field: Peter's (Hi Vis) Pacer

Description
Peter's (Hi Vis) Pacer helps you to ride/run the perfect race.
This is a spinoff project from Peter's (Race) Pacer, while it has many similarities it took me a while to create as it's a completely seperate code base.
It's different in the following ways:

high visibility less data is shown on the screen, which means that it is easier to read - eg for people with bad eye sight.
it can be used in non-single field mode, this means you can put it on the same page with other datafields of your choice!
It's also optimized to run on Edge devices, this means you can just as well use this field to pace your bike races just as your running races....

Adjusting the race distance
In a race when you are next to the race marker press the LAP button, the distance will now be corrected to the nearest lap position - eg 5.08 will correct to 5, 8.8 will correct to 9. After pressing the lap button the distance will be adjusted and all averages will be recalculated against this new distance figure.
When you miss a lap marker do not worry: do not press LAP and go for the next lap marker.
When you press the LAP marker by mistake you can undo the (last) correction by pressing the LAP button again - within a 30 second window

Donations
The data field is fully functional as is, yet donations are encouraged on the watch by an encouragement text.

on many devices I don't have the memory to load a custom font and then you have to work with font (and font size) available as a native font, so not sure it' ll be possible what you ask for.

Which device do you have?

I used the Hi Vis pacer on a recent 10k without a problem but on the last two weeks on 5k runs the watch face has reverted to a tiny logo that says Peter’s High Vis Pacer and all the data disappears. Is there a reason for this?

It shouldn't. Can you try to uninstall and reinstall to see if that resolves the issue. The uninstall part is important.

Thanks for very quick response. I’ll try that.

Hi all... I use Peter's (Hi Vis) Pacer on Garmin Venu 2 plus. It works well but if i want to change setting directly on the Watch the updating Is not in real time. I press the Arrow to modify the target or distance for example but any changes i see on the screen. To see, i must go back and re-enter in settings Page. Is It possibile fix the issue or how can i do to resolve It?

That's by design to make the app also fit in watches that has less memory than the venu2plus.

Have the FR165 v20.32.

I tested the ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) data field with the target distance set to 5k. I also tested this alongside another data field that also does ETA predictions: Race Screen by dp0750

The results are the ETA from this data field (Peter's) are very inaccurate whereas the Race Screen ETA were spot on. Throughout the entire run of 5k, the ETA was 5-10 minutes off from Race Screen's ETA. At the end, I got to 5k at 34:32 which is also around what Race Screen was predicting for the last 5 minutes of the run, yet Peter's ETA never went below 38mins of ETA.

set the internal lap size in settings the same size as your lap size on your watch
