Description - Version 6.10

Calculate and display your current Gradient (Grade)

* Now supports m/Km and ft/Mile calculations.
* For use with devices which do not support a native Grade Data Field.
* Data is dependent on the accuracy of the GPS Data.
* A Maximum and Average Gradient is also available.

A Data Field which shows your current gradient based on a configurable distance.

The data is recorded to the Activity FIT File

The configurable settings are:
- Frequency: The distance (in metres) for the grade to be calculated. The default is 100 metres. Shorter distances will give more updates, but with a greater chance of variation.
- Ignore Poor GPS Data: When the GPS data quality drops, the data field can ignore, which stops the possibility of incorrect readings. The display will show _._% if this occurs.
- Display Mode: Display the value as percent, ratio, metres per kilometres or feet per mile.
- Hide Units: This option hides the percent (%) symbol or measurement, which can increase the available font selected on some devices.
- Hide Minus Symbol: This option hides the minus (-) symbol, which can increase the available font selected on some devices.
- FIT Recording: Turn on or off the FIT recording option. This can save battery and save when using the Smart Recording device setting.
- Precision: Control how many decimal places are shown, or automatic for values below 10%

The Frequency Setting (in metres) will be displayed as a reminder before the first gradient is processed.

The options can be changed within Garmin Express on your desktop or mobile device. See the following link for more details https://bit.ly/3geonX7
