Description

This is actually just a simple watt data field which is in constant development. The trend in cycling is that the current performance is measured in watts/kg. This allows a relatively accurate evaluation, with which training progress can be measured. Watt measuring systems offer clear advantages compared to a training analysis via the heart rate, but are quite expensive and therefore mainly found in amateur and professional areas. I'm trying to develop a data field for my Garmin Edge 130, which calculates this power and displays it in plausible values. I have checked my wattage readings using the Golden Cheetah open source software and individual online wattage meters. The biggest problem at the moment is that I can't include the wind force (headwind) in my calculations.There are devices on the market that integrate such values using sensors, which the Edge unfortunately does not provide.</p>
