Lap by Position

Download Lap by Position

This data field uses your “GPS Start Position” as the autolap point. Every time you pass your start position the data field will auto lap and provide Last Lap Pace/Speed Distance and Time. In order to Auto Lap, YOU (your watch) must be within 20 meters of your starting position and must travel 40 meters from the starting position. This prevents false laps, and works perfectly on a standard 400m oval track. The algorithm is super accurate and average distance of the lap location is less than 2 meters.

I exclusively use this data field for all of my interval/ repeat (loop type) training were I need to know my current lap pace, last lap information and laps counted. This will work for all Running and Cycle training and will provide accurate LAP counts for outdoor swimming.

NOTE: Lap by Position Does not add laps in your FIT File. At this time Garmin SDK doesn’t not allow the recording functions in a data field. This just provides real time lap information on the data field screen.
