Lap time and distance with a twist

Former Member over 7 years ago

Hi

I would like to know if there is an option on the Garmin Fenix 5 for this :

I want to start my watch in hike mode and have the time and distance running, however, I would like to be able to “lap” a set time and distance.

So after starting my hike I know I have to travel for 1.2k for the first checkpoint, I can see this counting up on my watch when it hit the 1.2k, I want to be able to reset the watch ready for the walk to the next checkpoint say 3.3 ks away. The main thing is in the background I want to see the cumulative time and distance travel since the start of the hike.

I am not sure I can do this in any set up that I have seen?

If I understand you correctly, you simply need to

1. Set "auto lap = no" for the hiking activity
2. Add a data screen with "lap distance" and "lap time" to the hiking activity
3. Ensure there already is a data screen with "distance" and "time" in the hiking activity
4. Start hiking, when you get to CP1 hit the lap/back button (bottom right).
