Lap Ascent Datafield

Hi Everyone, 

i'm struggling a bit, not having a Lap Ascent data field. Is there anything planned? Why do I have it on my Fenix 5,6,7x and not on a big cycling computer?

Anyone has a reason for this? Yes, if my brain would work properly after several hard intervals or 5h+ rides this maybe wouldn't be an issue. But for me it's valuable information how i'm doing out there... 

Thanks in advance -- mirko

  • Status update: beta versions created of both the lap-ascent datafield and the lastlap-ascent datafield.

    I will first now test with old FIT files, because I live in a completely flat area.

    Then I will publish both fields and I will ask you to test and report if there are changes needed (hopefully tomorrow).

    Oh, and I will save "Monkey Island" for another app ;-)

    Lay out will be standard, conform default datafields.

  • no hurry, it's geting cold in switzerland. I will hit the mountains with the skis this weekend.  But i think i can test it next week or so... 

    Thanks in advance!!! 

  • Uploaded the app, think it works.

    Lap-Ascent

    If you need a 'm' (of meters) behind the number, let me know. Also if other things need to be changed.

    When we have lay-out and content settled, I will publish the LastLapAscent variant.

    Let me know if it is ok now.

    (it is now 'pending' you will see it as soon as it is 'approved' by Garmin. An hour or 2 most of the times)

  • Sorry to have promised you 2 hours. The app is still 'pending', apparently Garmin is not reviewing the apps in the weekend. Hopefully today..

  • https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/d8740f58-a452-4355-8fc5-d107abff943a

    Please give me feedback about how it works, and if you like me to change things.

    Then if you want I can simply add the last-lap version.

  • Hi sirfive,

    downloaded it yesterday! But we got rain, heavy winds and freezing temps today... i will give you feedback as soon as possible!

  • It's dumping snow currently... this could take a while... 

  • snow is okay now... sadly i'm currently covid positive. maybe that data field was a doom sign for me :) 

  • Get well soon! Perhaps you should have allowed a tune (a Christmas one?) to avoid the doom Slight smile

    I wait patiently, trying in my flat surroundings is useless.

    Let me know when you have tried.

  • Hey @sirfive, finally the weather turned and allowed for some cold but okayish winter  riding. The datafield looks great, it's almost the same font as the normal datafields. It also works like expected as long as you're not have a active workout. 

    When a workout is active. After a step in a workout it doesn't reset to 0. Same if i press the Lap button manually (and a workout is active). If i stop the workout and press lap everything works as expected. I think the next step (workout active) and a "normal" lap button press are doing something different. I can't find something related in the sdk with a quick search. Maybe you have more luck! 

    Looking goood :) 

     

    Thanks so far and happy holidays!
