Author: javier87gav

Ultimate Cycling Data Field is a full-screen, highly optimized layout for Garmin Edge devices. It provides every metric you need for riding, training, or racing—all on a single, beautifully organized screen.

Featuring custom anti-aliased fonts, the grid is perfectly scaled to support all Edge screen sizes (from the 520 all the way up to the 1040 and 1050). The most critical metrics—Distance, Timer, Power, Heart Rate, Cadence, and Speed—are presented in large, highly readable fonts, while secondary statistics and rolling averages sit comfortably in the periphery.

Now features native Garmin Profile Sync (automatically imports your FTP and HR Zones from your device settings) and CORE Body Temperature sensor support!

CONFIGURATION & SETUP:
To configure this data field, use the Garmin Connect app on your smartphone. Watch this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zex7CG--TKg
(Note: Setting your Garmin to record data "Every 1s" instead of "Smart" is highly recommended for accurate W' and Normalized Power calculations).

-----------------------------------

* ABOUT W' BALANCE (W prime):
W' Balance acts like a "life bar" in a video game. When you ride above your FTP, your life bar decreases. When you recover below your FTP, it regenerates. To calculate this, the app needs your W' and CP (Critical Power / FTP). 
You can calculate these values using the free software Golden Cheetah (Tools: CP and W' Estimator), or by using this spreadsheet: https://em-sportscience.com/critical-power-calculator. Golden Cheetah requires two maximal efforts (e.g., 3 mins and 20 mins). If using the spreadsheet (which asks for 4), simply enter your 3-minute effort twice, and your 20-minute effort twice.

The W' Balance field dynamically alternates between showing your remaining percentage and the estimated time to exhaustion/recovery:
- **D w' Bal (Time to Depletion):** When riding above FTP, shows how long you can sustain the current effort before completely draining your W'.
- **R w' Bal (Time to Recovery):** When riding below FTP, shows how long it will take to fully recharge your W' back to 100%.
(Note: Times greater than 1 hour are displayed as `more 1h`).

** CORE BODY TEMPERATURE:
If you enable CORE temp in the app configuration, a paired CORE sensor is required. Order at: https://corebodytemp.com/
