How to get alerts of cumulative distance and not individual km markers on a run? Thanks in advance
I'm assuming you have auto-lap for every km, and you want to see your total distance whenever a lap is triggered.
Change your lap alert settings so that one of the two fields shows total distance.
- Open Run activity (or whatever activity you normally use)
- Hold UP button for menu
- Select Run Settings (or [Activity Name] Settings)
- Select Laps
- Select Lap Alert
- Select Primary Field or Secondary Field
- Select More > Distance Fields > Distance
Do you really need to change the default behavior though? By default, the lap screen looks something like this:
- Lap number (this can't be changed)
- Lap Time
- Total Time
The lap number will always correspond to the total number of kilometres run at that point, unless your auto lap distance is something other than 1 km, or unless you you pressed the LAP button manually (I'm guessing this might be the case tho.)
So I went for my first run in a long time with earbuds (no phone), which gave me a chance to hear what the audio alerts sound like. I have auto laps enabled, with auto lap distance set to 1 km. For each lap, the audio alert tells me the lap number and lap time — e.g. “Lap 5, 5 minutes 33 seconds”.
So as with the lap alert screen, as long as your auto lap is set to 1 km (or 1 mile, for those who use miles), and you never press the lap button, then the lap number in the audio alert will correspond to the cumulative distance.
I’ve got a 955 with firmware version 18.23.
