Garmin peeps, c'mere! (Read 899 times)

Elevation!!!

I have 4.... Run Time Average Pace Distance Current Pace If I have a Time/Pace goal for the run I will set up a Quick Workout and display the Virtual Partner Screen.

4 on the screen I use most often: Lap Pace Lap Time Lap HR Current HR I switch out to the main screen with total time, total distance, and current HR

Ahhh...so you are using 2 screens. Is that pretty easy to swap back and forth with on the fly? I haven't tried that, yet. k

Yeah, just hit the up/down buttons on the right side. There's even a setting to have it toggle automatically between the screens on a fixed time interval. I ended up ditching that b/c I always found myself staring at the screen waiting for the one that I wanted to come up. FWIW, here's mine Screen 1: Total Time, Average Pace, Total Distance Screen 2: Lap Time, Lap Pace, Lap Distance Screen 3:(Running): Heart Rate, Last lap time, last lap pace The reason for the last lap stuff is that when running intervals, I can use those to look at my previous interval speed/time during the recovery lap. I sometimes put time of day on that last screen. And I experimented with showing cadence (rpms) data from my footpod, but I was worried Scout would get mad at me. Generally, 4 things on the screen is too much for me to process while running. (insert snarky anti-Michigan comment from JakeKnight here). MTA: I think Current Pace (I think they just call it Pace) jumps around too much due to variability with the satellites. If you have auto-lap set to 1-mile, Lap Pace is the best, most stable read on how you're running at the moment.

Time Distance Avg. Lap Pace (autolap set to 1 mile) Heart Rate Zone

I have only used 1 screen so far... - Distance - Heart Rate - Current Pace - Run Time

4 fields makes it do difficult to see the number that I want when I'm moving fast. Right now, I am only using 2 screens and they are set as follows: Screen 1 Large: Current Pace Left: Total Time Right: Total Distance Screen 2 Large: Heart Rate Left: Lap Time Right: Total Time I need to swap the lap time and heart rate on screen two I think before I try racing with the garmin. Just haven't swapped things around much lately. I have to set the 3rd screen up still, and will probably set it to something like lap time over total time and use that during the race. I don't really need the other numbers and having them nice and large would be useful.
