Ok -- so I set up an "Activity" with multiple data display screens. While riding yesterday, I couldn't figure out how to toggle from one display screen to another. Huh? On my older Edge units it was easy - just tap the menu button and it toggles to the next display window. I've searched through the user manual -- and I can't find an answer. Can anyone help me out?
Problem solved today. I didn't realize it; but when you add a new activity data screen to an activity, you also have to "enable" it. Once enabled, you can toggle between all "enabled" data screens (up to 10!) by swiping. Wish the manual was clearer on this point. I figured it out when I looked at the list of data screens for the activity and noticed that only the first one I defined was "enabled". Kinda cool -- you can define a bunch of data screens, and then enable only those that you want to use on a particular ride. TMI???
Glad you figured it out bobknh. It won't be long, and you will be an expert on the 1000. Have had mine for about a year, or so, and love it. The map feature is great, and use it when exploring. Some don't like the large screen of the 1000, but my eyes love mine. I, too, use progressive lenses, and the larger screen size is handy.
Regarding the activity profiles, you can set them up for whatever suits you. I have multiple bikes, and use my 1000 on them all. On mine, there is an activity profile that I use for commuting, one for my road bike, one for gravel riding, etc. Each activity profile has the mix of screens that I find useful for that particular activity.
When I first started using mine, I was enamored with all the "bells and whistles" features. After some time, I paired the data and screens on the activity profiles down to what was useful. You will, I am sure, go through a similar process.
Now, I find that when using my 1000, I mainly stay on a screen that is set-up with an Intelligent IQ app. I like some of the gauges and charts apps, as they have just what I want to see when riding.
To give you an idea of where I came from regarding Garmin Edge units, I started with an Edge 200 and then went to the 1000. A huge leap in features, for sure. Have explored several new areas, since, with total confidence and always can navigate without any problems from the maps.
Keep enjoying that Garmin and you will find it very useful for your cycling adventures!
Another accidental discovery - if you are looking at a particular data screen, you can change it by simply doing a long press --- This will bring up the selection choices which you can scroll through and select another data field to replace the original. I found this particularly useful when I was doing a long tough hill and wanted to see the % grade, which wasn't on the screen.
