Data Screen on Fenix 5

Anyone know how to edit data screens that show on the Vision when connected to Fenix 5?
  • There is no manual control of the screens shown on the Vision when paired with the Fenix 5 or FR935. They are automatically generated based on the screens you have on the watch, the sensors you are paired with and what you are doing.

    I was creating a couple of data screens with the 935.
    There are certain limitations, but if you create normal screens, with up to 4 data fields, it is working for me.
  • So the data screen you selected on your f5 is what's visible on the varia? Can i show a data screen on the varia while the watch is showing maps or do both always show the same thing?
  • The 2 sets of screens no not have be in sync. You can advance them independently of each other.

    Thanks for the response. One more, can you display the map page? If not I assume that turn alerts and radar alerts (if you have the varia radar) pop on the screen regardless of what page is on?
  • Correct the turn instruction and the radar overlay will appear on the HMD. The HMD will not display a map page.

    Cool, thanks for responding. Now I just need to find some sales, which don't seem to be out there. I haven't seen much below $400.

    So just got my toys and played. The radar info (which I paired directly with the varia vision) is popping on my Varia Vision. However, I can am not getting the Turn by Turn to pop up on the screen. Any ideas way, I have the 5x? Thanks again.
  • Are you getting turn instructions on the 5x?

    Yes, I finally figured out that I needed to change in navigation from pedestrian to cycle and then I started getting the full display pop up for the next turn on my 5x. Unfortunately I was not getting the same pop up on the varia???? Thanks for helping!
