Hi I have a garmin 3 which had the two data fields installed GPSTC but one day the second went missing ie the hr and nautical.
I have tried everything deleting app re-installing it etc.
So field one is a timer I cannot remove ??? field tow is the GPSTC normal first screen and that works.
what comes up when I try and replace the timer field with a screen is "replace or remove a connected IQ field on any data screen to add another"
I have tried having 4 fields tried in on another field etc.
please help hopefully easy for someone who has had this happen to them.
cheers
Also I have a new 6 and have uploader the GPSTC to that but cannot find it on the watch even though it shows it being there on the computer. I am currently updating maps after deleting and re-installing the GPSTC app so hopefully this will work for this.

Byron,
Regarding your Garmin Fenix 3:
I have seen this situation a year or so ago when I had the Fenix 3. It loses the screen but will not allow you to add the IQ field again, because it thinks it is still there.
Try creating a new Activity and then try and add the two datafields to the new Activity.

I am not overly familiar with the Fenix 6, but again you will need to create a new Activity and add the Datafields to it.
The datafields only become visible on the watch once they are added to an Activity.

Cheers that would be great.
my Garmin 6 I am unable to find the app on it. I have downloaded it and can see it is there on computer but can't find it on the watch.

Hi I was wondering if I can run both data fields on a forerunner 645music
It appears to be a little crowded on the screen or have I just set it up wrong
Thanks

Yes you can run both datafields on 645.
You simply add them to the same activity and then you can swap between during the activity.
You can have as many pages as you like in an activity but you can not have more than 2 IQ datafields.
