First beta of HowFar?, a free data field that shows the time to the next checkpoint of your course, learned from how you climb and descend.

epix Pro (Gen 2) 47 mm HowFar-epix2pro47mm.prg
epix Pro (Gen 2) 51 mm HowFar-epix2pro51mm.prg

How to install: connect the watch with its cable, open the GARMIN → Apps folder (on a Mac, with the free app OpenMTP) and copy the file there. Step-by-step instructions with pictures of every option: https://howfar-garmin.github.io/howfar/#install

Copied this way, the optional settings (your pace from past races and the course profile) can't be pasted. They will work once HowFar? is in the Connect IQ Store.

What's in this version

  • Next checkpoint, time to get there and arrival time
  • Learns your pace on every slope during the race
  • Optional speed model from past races and course profile with every climb and descent
  • Corrections for today's form, recent fatigue and the extra distance your watch measures
