Description - Version 4.0

Designed for Backyard events to predict and help your participation

* New Data Field for 2025, which is supported by a full version (hBackyard)

The Data Field has been designed to help you manage completion of a Backyard event. The Data Field will track and predict your progress on each loop/yard, this will help manage your time and pace, with the completed number of loops/yards. The layout will adapt to fit the screen space, showing a combination of the data values.

The following data values are provided:
- Intelligent: Use the best field, based on your performance and lap time or position, where only a single one is displayed
- Loop Count: Number of completed loops/yards
- Loop Distance: The current distance covered within the loop/yard
- Loop Time: The current time elapsed within the loop/yard
- Remaining Distance: The remaining distance within the loop/yard
- Remaining Time: The remaining time within the loop/yard
- Predicted Time: The predicted or estimated time to complete the current loop/yard
- Predicted Gap: The predicted or estimated gap at the end of the current loop/yard
- Loop Pace: The current pace on the loop - excludes waiting time
- Pacer: Set distance on which your progress is checked. After the first loop/yard, the difference is displayed; the first lap displays pace.

When the Data Field starts, it will wait for the first lap to get started.

The Data Field can be configured to:
- Loop Distance: The length in metres of each loop/yard. The default is 6,706 metres or 4.167 miles, the standard for a Backyard.
- Loop Time: The time in minutes of each loop/yard. The default is 60 minutes, the standard for a Backyard.
- Calculation Mode: Average: is best for activities with a constant pace; Current: works well where your pace changes constantly; Recent: is designed for when your pace slows or increases over the distance.
- Display Units: The units to display, as either Metric or Imperial. Default is your system units.
- Display Mode: The primary data field to show, where limited to a single field.
- FIT Recording: Pick if you would like to record the backyard data to the saved FIT file.
- Vibrate Mode: Either off, or alert on completing a loop/yard and a reminder when the next loop/yard is to start.
