Why spend time configuring and switching between multiple data screens when you can SmartCycle? </p><p></p><p>SmartCycle intelligently displays the right info at the right time. When riding SmartCycle helps you focus on key real-time stats; when stopped SmartCycle shows you summary stats. No configuration is required!</p><p></p><p>On Edge devices Smartcycle can be paired with another data field (or more on some devices). When riding SmartCycle shows speed, cadence, power, heart rate with HR zones chart, over / under average speed gauge, compass heading, battery gauge, and time of day. When stopped, SmartCycle shows current time, distance, average speed, total ascent, average cadence, average power in watts, HR zones chart, calories burned, and Training Effect. No configuration is required because SmartCycle dynamically determines if you are using heart rate, cadence, and power sensors.
This is the second version of SmartCycle. Highlights of this version: time of day clock is now shown on the main screen, much improved multi-field support for larger devices like the Edge series, improved battery gauge, improved average speed gauge on round devices, support for black backgrounds, and HR zones chart should match Garmin's. See detailed release notes below.</p><p></p><p>SmartCycle is a data field, not an app or widget. You need to configure a screen in the Cycling activity with one data field in it (larger devices can have more than one data field), and add SmartCycle from the list of Connect IQ data fields. See "Customizing the data screens" in your manual or the online manual for your device to see how to do this.</p>

It is seems to me like it is impossible to create Training effect field in layout. Maybe Edge 830 doesnt support that option. Everything else works just fine. Fiver from me.

Cycling is my passion and I'm out in the open almost every day and SmartCycle is the only data field I need to have all the info nicely on 2 screens. Very well laid out. Kudos to the developer. Recommended.

I use SmartCycle on my forerunner 945 and like it very much. In the review I read about a request for displaying the slope and the answer that there is no more space left. I've a simple idea: A gauge like the comparison with average speed at the lower part. This would be beautful.

Excited to give this a shot! I found this app while trying to find a way to connect a power meter to a vivoactive 3. Question: I have a vivoactive 3 and am looking into buying a stages gen 3 power meter. It’s Bluetooth 4.0 and ant + . Will smart cycle be able to pick up the power meter? Do I have to worry about any accuracy issues? Thanks for taking the time to make the app and answer my question :)

Want to use it on my Edge 1030. Not sure how to set it up, how many data fields is recommended? Do you put Smart Cycle on just one of the data fields? Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Robin, you have a lot of flexibility in configuring the field layout for SmartCycle on the Edge 1030. One, two, and three field layouts work well, but any of the "b" layouts work even better if you put SmartCycle in one of the large fields. For instance with the "4 Fields B" layout you could have two smaller fields up top, SmartCycle in the middle, and a map in the bottom field. Good luck!

Love it on the Forerunner 945. It makes the most of the available space.

Great layout! The only one thing I need more -is the indicating the current gradient (in degrees). Are you going to add this feature?

Great. I used it on my Edge 1000. Very clean data field - no distraction while riding but all data available when needed. Smart indeed. Any chance of making it available for the 1030?

Works great for spinning VA HR. Two questions, what is the center colored vertical bar representative of? Second, is it possible to incorporate an estimated power meter?

Great app, but the compass arrow is not very accurate, it is a good feature, but as it is now it is basically useless.

Thanks for trying SmartCycle! I too have noticed that sometimes the compass is accurate, and sometimes it jumps around and is not accurate. I will need to look into this further. If you could please email me your device type, that may help. Click on "Contact Developer" to email me.

Nice but user defined fields is a must. There is not a single serious competitor that has any interest in MPH during a race.

When I'm stopped, SmartCycle can't displays 9 summary stats on my 235.

Thanks for your interest in SmartCycle! Some Garmin devices like the 235 don't have enough memory to support showing all statistics. I was really stretching the limits of memory on these devices, and was happy to be able to provide the full SmartCycle experience when you're moving, and average speed and distance stats when you're stopped. Newer devices like the 735, Fenix Chronos, vivoactives, and the Edge devices support the full list of summary stats.

great idea but would be useful if you could edit which fields are displayed. also i received a quick reply from the app developer that was positive. definitely a useful download for your watch!

Thanks for the positive feedback! In order to make SmartCycle available on a broad range of Garmin devices, I've had to choose between providing as much functionality as possible (compass, HR zones, battery, average speed over/under bar, auto display of attached sensor info, stats when stopped) vs. the ability for users to select which fields to show. This is due to memory constraints on older Garmins. I tried to the best choices possible to make your cycling experience truly "smart"!
Sorry, no statistics available yet.
