Virtual Gear Logger+ (VGLA) is a Connect IQ Data Field that displays gear, pedaling, power, lap and Bike data, and records VGLA data in the activity FIT file. It supports electronic/mechanical shifting. Electronic mode displays front/rear gear data. Tested with Shimano 12-speed Di2 and SRAM AXS 12-speed. Mechanical mode estimates the gear from configured chainrings, sprockets, wheel circumference, and live speed/cadence. VGLA and Analyzer both include prediction models. VGLA CONFIGURATOR https://toab.lovestoblog.com/VGLA_Configurator.html This free JP/EN browser tool edits all 138 standard VGLA settings. Preview VGLA/Edge layouts and save JSON backups. Apply settings to v0.9.8h by generating a code and syncing it through Garmin Connect Mobile. Applying a settings code: 1. Save/discard any recording and leave VGLA idle. 2. Generate and copy the full code in Configurator. 3. Paste it into “Settings code (VGLA1 / part)” in Garmin Connect Mobile; save and sync. 4. Confirm “OK” and the 8-character ID on Edge. Browser-local save is available; keep a JSON backup. Bike Total distance correction and maintenance resets use Garmin Connect Mobile. Note: v0.9.8h mobile settings are English only. Bike and maintenance names support Unicode. DISPLAY AND BIKES Configure six Pages with independent 2/4/6/8-cell layouts, items, and fonts. Items include gear, PB/TE/PS, cadence, heart rate, grade, power, lap, battery, and workout data. Background, threshold colors, and brightness are adjustable. PB/TE/PS use a 3-second average. Store four Bike Settings with name, Electronic/Mechanical mode, gear display, gearing, and wheel circumference. On touchscreen Edge devices, tap before recording for Bike 1-4 and during recording for Page 1-6. Garmin Connect Mobile can also select Bike/Page. Recording locks Bike and drivetrain settings. Bike changes and settings codes are rejected during recording; Page and display changes remain available.

VGLA ANALYZER https://toab.lovestoblog.com/analyzer/analyzer.html Load a FIT file into the free VGLA Analyzer after a ride to review gear use and pedaling data. Manual: https://toab.lovestoblog.com/manual/VGLA_Plus_Manual_EN.html TOAB Cycling CONNECT IQ APPS: https://toab.lovestoblog.com/index_EN.html BASIC USE 1. Add VGLA to an activity-profile data screen. 2. Select Electronic or Mechanical; for Mechanical, enter actual gearing and wheel circumference. 3. Set cells/items for Pages 1-6. 4. Start recording. 5. Analyze the FIT file when needed. TRIAL AND PURCHASE VGLA has a 7-day free trial. Continued use requires a KiezelPay VGLA license (US$5, one-time purchase). VGLA Analyzer and Configurator are free. https://kiezelpay.com/ If no purchase code appears, check the smartphone/Garmin Connect Mobile connection and restart Edge. If hard to read, temporarily place VGLA in a one-field layout. DATA HANDLING Configurator editing and Analyzer FIT processing occur in the browser. Settings, original FIT files, ride data, and results are not sent to a VGLA server. KiezelPay handles licensing and purchasing. NOTES VGLA is a Data Field and must be added to a data screen. Electronic-shifting compatibility is not guaranteed for every system. Mechanical gears are estimates and may differ from the actual gear. PB/TE/PS and battery items require compatible devices that provide those data. Always prioritize road conditions, traffic laws, and safe riding. SUPPORTED DEVICES Edge 540 / 550 / 840 / 850 / 1040 / 1050 Minimum Connect IQ API: 5.2.2

Virtual Gear Logger+ Version History v0.9.8x (Changes since v0.9.8v) - Added Power History to single-cell graph mode on Page 1-8. Shows the activity timeline with zone-colored interval averages, thin peak lines, and a dashed FTP guide. - Automatically merges intervals for longer activities without growing history memory. Retains received peaks; missing data is not backfilled. - Fixed a memory-related "IQ!" crash during history saves after page switching. Reduced memory use; low memory defers graph saves while live tracking continues. - Restores saved history when the same activity reloads. - Configurator v1.10.0 adds graph selection and previews; browser saves, defaults, and 191-setting codes remain compatible. Note: Save or discard any activity before updating. Codes using Power History require production v0.9.8x or later. v0.9.8v (Changes since v0.9.8u) - Bike auto select now works when recording starts directly from the Edge home screen before VGLA opens. - Until a registered power-meter ID is confirmed, shows "Bike unconfirmed" instead of assuming the previous Bike. Gear display, FIT gear recording, and per-Bike accumulation wait for confirmation; missing time is not backfilled. - Once confirmed, the Bike stays fixed for the activity. Reloading the same activity restores its pending or confirmed state. v0.9.8u (Changes since v0.9.8q) - Added optional pre-ride Bike auto select using registered ANT+ power-meter IDs. Manual selection takes priority. - Expanded to eight pages, including per-Bike enabled/start pages, workout pages, and Edge/Connect IQ page selection. - Added single-cell vertical graphs for time in seven Power zones and five Heart Rate zones. Only received recording data is counted, so totals may differ from Garmin Connect. - Updated fresh-install defaults while retaining existing settings, Bike Totals, and licenses. - Expanded codes to 191 settings; 138/139/147/149/154-setting codes remain compatible. - Configurator v1.9.0 improves browser-save restoration and adds Reload browser save. Hides mechanical beep settings for electronic Bikes without losing their values. v0.9.8q (Changes since v0.9.8o) - Added per-Bike enabled/start pages. Switching Bikes opens the start page; disabled pages cannot be selected. - Allowed manual page changes during workout display, returning to a valid selected page afterward. - Added an optional mechanical rear end-gear beep when shifting from a middle gear to the top or low gear, with 12 tones. - Expanded codes to 149 settings and fixed invalid page selections being saved. v0.9.8o (Changes since v0.9.8m) - Added automatic workout page selection and restoration when the workout ends or is canceled. - Added Page selection alongside Bike in Edge Change Settings. Pages can change during recording or pause; manual Bike changes remain pre-ride only. - A page chosen during workout display becomes the return page. - Expanded codes to 139 settings; 138-setting codes remain compatible. v0.9.8m - Added named Bike 1-4 selection in Edge Change Settings on touch/button models. - Retains selections on direct recording starts; Bike changes are never queued for later. - Applies pre-ride codes received before VGLA opens and clears the input for easy resending. v0.9.8k / v0.9.8h - Improved Bike restoration, Bike/gear locking, "Bike locked" safety, and five-second Bike-name confirmation. - Added configuration-code support, simpler mobile settings, and settings/totals/maintenance migration. v0.9.8f and earlier - Added six-page layouts, lap metrics, per-Bike totals/maintenance, sensor batteries, and three-second PB/TE/PS averages. - Added Workout, Smart Trainer, and Varia/Light data, expanded ride metrics and layouts, and improved small-field displays. - Introduced four Bikes, mechanical gear prediction, Bike/Page switching, Grade, and Connect IQ API 5/5.2.2.
