Garmin 955 - Navigation - Up Ahead - Access from Connect IQ DataField?

Hi, default "Up Ahead" Data Screen is nicely showing what's coming next, but it's small to read in some situations (like at night after 20+ hours of running...).

Is there a way how to customize it? Just one entry at a time for example?

Or, is there a way how to access this data from Connect IQ - I have my DataField implemented (with the largest font :-) ) so I can do similar for this case.

Thanks!

Hi MichalCZ,

do you really see the "Up ahead" data screen with the words "UP AHEAD" shown on top like shown here? https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=lQMibRoY2I5Y4pP8EXgxv7

Because it seems, that the implementation on FR955 is in fact not showing: https://forums.garmin.com/sports-fitness/running-multisport/f/forerunner-955-series/309385/up-ahead-activated-but-not-shown-while-navigating

I also have wondered about this. During the winter, it is dark for my evening runs. I follow a course for routes I am a bit unfamiliar with. However my old and strained eyes makes it difficult for me to see the relatively small field while running in the dark.

I’ve tried to create a screen with just this one data field so it would be huge, but I couldn’t figure out how to do it.

Yes, it shows the page (enabled in Settings), see the picture. I am not on the course now, so no distance (just '- -'). But when I run the course, it shows distances correctly. I added these Course Points in Garmin Connect web interface.

OK thanks! Then they have fixed it without stating it in the changelog. I am still at fw 13.15, as the things that are broken in newer firmwares are worse than things fixed. Good to know that the Up ahead is now OK, in 13.15 it does not show up.

I updated to the latest fw 15.09 beta and still the UP AHEAD is not there for me.

More in another thread, as this topic is about something else
