Data fields: Charts (Pace, heart rate, etc)

Hi,

Just wondering if you have considered combining some the metrics in a single screen simulating a 4 field layout, by adding 2 times 2 field layouts. i.e on 920 you could have i.e Heartrate left, elevation right as one metric, and cadence and power as another metric. One would then be able to add these two metrics in a two field layout to show 4 metrics in one view. This would allow the user to show more than just the two IQConnect Applications in one view. (Hope this makes sense)

The issue with that suggestion is that you can hardly see anything legibly.

I was worried I could be misunderstood, it should look exactly the way it looks now when 4 fields are selected (on a + layout, only layout for 920), the only difference is that the combination would have to be pre-selected as one layout. So on a 4 field layout currently I can only select 2 IQ Graphs, say HR and Elevation, the other metrics would have to be standard Garmin metrics. If there were two IQConnect fields, one with HR, Elevation next to each other, another with cadence and power, I would be able to select the two IQConnect metrics in a two field layout and see 4 graphs. The whole point for me of having the graphs is to see my trends at a glance, i.e when my heart rate catches up to my power increase. What could also help (if you want to read the values) and still better utilize the 2 ConnectIQ slots, is to have to have two metrics to fill the whole page, then you could have two pages showing the 4 graphs.

2 or 4 graphs are not possible because the limitation of the hardware I think.

Thank you for the nice app. I have a vivoactive which as far as I can see has a fixed 3 unit display this the graphs look small and hard to read. This of course is not your fault but am I right in saying that I cannot set the vivoactive to either 1 or 2 data fields per page to increase the graph size?

Thanks

I don't have a vivoactive but in the simulator at least there's no way to change it.

Which is odd because the FR920xt has exactly the same screen and lets you choose 1/2/3/4 fields. Looks like market segmentation isn't dead :-(

Thanks. That's what I thought! Hopefully that will change but they need to warrant the higher prices for their higher range watches hence they have software restricted certain aspects of the vivoactive. Or power meter support and open water swimming and triathlon support is all a Garmin choice to software restrict.

nevermind :) great apps!!!!

I installed the heart and power graphs and set each of them up as a single field page for cycling. A couple days ago I did a ~50 mile ride, and basically had the heart graph displayed the whole time. Power was useful but less so. The graphs did not appear to cause any issues, and worked very well.

I'm using these on a Fenix 3 and I'm very happy about the potential for Connect IQ with these as an example.

What other data fields should I produce? I'm guessing that speed and elevation are obvious candidates, any others?

Atmospheric pressure ?
Also a 'recovery time graph' would be nice as a widget, suunto Ambit has one and it looks cool ;)
