On the Edge 840 Solar, if one adds a data field for smart trainer control, the default is "RESISTANCE". However, we desire to use "TRAINER POWER" as the default data filed to control the smart trainer.
As per Garmin instructions, one can change how one desires to control the trainer but only AFTER an activity has started. If we choose any other mode to control the trainer other than the default RESISTANCE, the computer automatically creates an ADDITIONAL data screen with 5 fields, which includes the mode selected "TRAINER POWER" for controlling the Smart Trainer.
Our questions are:
1) Can this default data screen be MODIFIED so that it shows show the additional fields we use for indoor training, so we don't have to swipe through screens?
2) Is it possible to NOT have this screen created, and instead have a choice of what mode trainer mode one sees when we choose the data filed for smart trainer control? Again, the only choice (default) now is RESISTANCE.
We end up with TWO data screens when using the indoor trainer and this defeats the purpose of creating one profile with just ONE data screen.
