Garmin page set up

Werbo

What's your best set up on your garmin, I have one which is ft climbed, hill %, cadence and hr which I like. Dose anyone else have one they can't live without and if so what is it and when do you use it?

I have 7 fields on my 500
Time, speed, distance
Time of day
Current percentage gradient
Average speed and average cadence

Generally dont use HRM but if i did i would swap with time of day...

Power
Candence
Hrm
Speed
Time of ride

Then have another page on my 510 with
Distance
Actual time
Across speed
L/r power split

Av. Power (3s)
Cadence
HR
Speed
Av. Speed
Distance
% Gradient

Seems a lot on one page but I have the new 1000 which has a big screen - I don't have any other pages set up.

I have one main screen which works for 80% of my rides including interval sessions (500 edge)

power 30s
power 3s
cadence
hr zone
current lap time (adjust to current lap distance if using distance as a marker)
np lap

For TT's, I keep it simple so the numbers are bigger.

power 3s
current lap distance (helps me pace my power over '4' quadrants')
av power lap


I do vary the screens from time to time, either to get better visibility of particular numbers, or adjust some of the info I think I'll need whether for racing, training, or club rides.

The one thing I wish you could do is use the navigation / bread crumb courses and see some choice info at the same time. But you need to keep flicking between screens.

Page 1:
Timer,
Speed,
Distance, Time of day,
HR, Avg. HR,
Cadence, Avg. Cadence.

Page 2:
Gradient,
Total Ascent,
Avg. Speed, Max Speed,
Odo, Distance to go,
Temperature, Calories.

I keep it on page 1, occasionally switch to page 2 to check average speed or total ascent. Quite a few of the fields are there to fill the space.
