Enhancement Request: support for ConnectIQ Data Fields for Varia Vision

Re-post since Garmin Support/Dev never responded to my previous post.

There are threads from 2014 where users pointed out that only native data fields can be used in display screens in the Varia Vision. Four + years later and that still seems to be the case. Does Garmin have any plans to address this limitation? The Varia Vision is a beautifully made piece of gear, but it's very expensive and not being able to use all the innovative stuff the ConnectIQ developer community does is, well, pretty weak. Not sure I would have laid down the money for the Varia Vision had I understood that limitation, and I can't be the only one that thinks that.
  • Fully agree, I want this too very much!
  • Would be also interested in data field extensions like connect iq data. For road bikes i think the compass feature is not useable for track or course navigation pared with a fenix 5x or 5 plus. So forwarding directions and distance to turn data would be helpful. Fenix 5 series is more expensive than the high end class of edge devices, so improved support for watches would still be a business case for garmin.

    This would be great, but I haven't seen a firmware update on the Vision since 2017. Is there a place for community feature requests that Garmin actually checks?
