Customize your other screens as you wish in the same manner as above. I personally use:
- Screen 1: 1-field: Wind/Kite Surfing Datafield
- Screen 2: 4-fields: Time Of Day, Distance, Max. Speed, Avg. Speed
- Screen 3: 4-field: Heart Rate, HR Zone, Avg. HR, Calories
- Screen 4: 1-field: Lap Time (this works as a race timer, whenever I hit the LAP button it starts counting minutes/seconds from 0:00 upwards. So I know that at 4:00 I should pass the line.
