1030 users: What data-fields do YOU use?

Just got my first Edge bike computer and, coming from just using Garmin watches to track my rides, I'm a bit lost. Also aware what made sense on the watch might not on the Edge.

How many data-screens and what data-fields do you all use on your Edge devices?

I‘m using 3 data screens only.

-First shows all data I need on one screen
(built with CIQ datafield „HMs DIY“)

-Second screen: map
(with 4 datafields built with HMs DIY)

-Third screen: elevation

Are those custom add-on screens ? Never seen anything like that on my 1030Plus

You shouldn't need a windows PC, just need the Conect IQ Mobile App, download and sync

Oh, I thought from reading the pdf that you needed the Windows program to design your layout.

i went for a ride this morning, and realise it will probably not be much use to me, at least not with so much info on the screen.. Need spectacles now, which obviously you can’t wear while cycling… so the smaller text would be too small

It‘s up to you to create your layout - big letters, small letters…

And - yes - you need a Windows Coputer for creating the layout!

Yes, thought so .

I do actually have a VMWare Win 7 machine that I can use on the Mac

Thanks
