The Data Field has been designed to calculate the direct, straight line distance, from the start.  This is often referred to "as the crow flies".

The field uses your GPS location to determine how far you have travelled.  This can be useful for navigation, or in ultra-endurance events, where the winner is the furthest from the start.  

On larger displays, the efficiency as a percentage is shown (distance compared elapsed distance) and information on the current lap.

The distance information recorded in the Garmin FIT File will be captured in metres only. 

The Data Field can be configured to: 
- Display Units: Use your device units (default), Miles, KM or opposite.
- Distance Alert: Select what distance you would like to receive an alert. This is similar to the AutoLap watch feature on the display. However no lap is marked.
- Vibrate: Vibrate (default) the device when the distance reached. 
- FIT Recording: Turn on or off the FIT recording of laps. This can save battery and save when using the Smart Recording device setting. 

Alerts will need to be enabled on the watch activity, to become visible.
