HI, downloaded this app a few days back, to help count laps while self-isolated and having to run laps of the garden. Initially worked fine, but now the lapping point keeps shifting during the run. my route is a lollypop, so start at the bottom of the stick, run up (the drive), then clockwise round the back garden and back down the drive to the starting point. As I understand it, the lap counter should increment at the point where the run started ie the bottom of the drive, but the last few runs it has been incrementing at the 9 o'clock position of the loop. Occasionally it would then jump to lapping at 5 0'clock position of the loop. Very strange! I have tried uninstalling the data field, restarting the watch, and reinstalling, but doesn't make any difference. Can you offer and advice on why this might be happening, and how to fix it? Thanks Ian

Works well but what app will write the laps into the main file?

Hi, is this good for 25 meter pool size?

Thanks for reviewing, but I'm not sure. It is really intended for running, biking and motor (i.e. on land) with loops that are larger than 200 meters. It will likely be ok in open water swim when the laps(loops) are larger.

Love the field on my 935. Any plan to support the 945?

Thanks for reviewing! Yes, the Datafield now supports the FR945/245 and the Edge 530/830.

thanks for the review. Sorry datafields do not have that ability, but I have other apps that do write the laps.

I still love my 910XT, and even if LapByPosition does not record the laps in the fit file and cannot increase the native Laps data field, it nevertheless deserves the highest rating.

This 40m rule to continue after lap is not very usufull. I like to have information on every lap, also the one I like to take break. If the lap is allowed to skii on one direction this is too hard to use.

This app is really intended for "loop" activities

Very usefull when running in track. My suggestions: - Remove "Last Lap Distance". when using this data filed I run on a track so I know exactly how long is each lap. - Total time and Average Lap time would be more usefull information.

thanks for the review, check out my Run+ or MotorSports+. Both use the AutoLap by Position for there activity types, which save the lap information to the activity.

Cubre una carencia de los GARMIN modernos. Debería avisar con un pitido ,y una vibración, que se ha completado la vuelta, y mostrar una ventana emergente con el tiempo que se ha tardado en completarla.

Thanks for the review, I wish garmin would add the addLap() function to the SDK and this data field would be 100%. As of now, it is prohibited from adding laps to the FIT file. :(

App do not store lap info in .fit file so Garmin connect do not see laps. Make app with more cycling fields like cadence, speed, avg speed, hr ... Etc

Developer Reply

This is really only for time and speed/pace. The addLap() ability is not available to datafields and that is why i cannot code in the Lap information to the FIT file.

Bonne application, il serait intéressant d'avoir la vitesse et le rythme cardiaque en plus. De même il serait très bien que le départ des tours se lance lorsqu'on appuie sur le bouton lap et non au lancement du GPS.

Happy with this data field , functionable for my loops running and suggest to add HR field ; HR rate , HR zone

Sorry, no statistics available yet.
