Readability of data fields [MF 58]

Unread post by Alptraum »

I use the GPSmap H1 when cycling. The map readability during track navigation could be better, but it meets my requirements to a reasonable extent.
I am not at all happy with the readability of the data fields. The numbers displayed are too small for cycling. I added a page in the main menu and set up 4 x 2 data fields. I couldn't find a way to set up 4 large data fields on one page. I also can't adjust the font size. Did I overlook something in the settings?

There is indeed only a limited amount of home screen layouts that you can choose from, and four large data fields on a single page is not one of them.

Maybe there's a Connect IQ app that can show data in the layout you want, but I didn't check.

You could share your idea with Garmin, maybe it gets added to a future update. Or consider using an Edge cycling computer if you cycle a lot, that device has way more layouts for showing data fields.
