Description

BTR Pacer turns your Garmin watch into a personal race pacer for supported trail races. Instead of following a fixed average pace, BTR Pacer shows where you are compared to a pacing plan built for the actual course profile. The plan takes into account the route, climbs, descents, terrain profile, target finish time, and your selected BTR pacing strategy. During the activity, the data field shows a simple visual race between you and your virtual pacer: - See if you are ahead of or behind the plan. - Track the time gap to your pacer. - Follow your progress without constantly calculating pace in your head. - Get a quick visual cue of whether you should ease off, hold steady, or push. The goal is simple: help you manage your effort better and finish closer to your best possible result. How it works: - Create a pacing strategy in Bulgarian Trail Rating (https://www.my-btr.com). - Get your personal BTR Pacer key. - Enter the key in the data field settings in Garmin Connect. - Start your race or activity. - Let your watch guide you against your planned effort. BTR Pacer is designed especially for trail running, where flat pace is often misleading. A steep climb, fast descent, technical section, or aid station can all change what “good pacing” means. This data field helps you focus on execution instead of guessing. To use this data field, you need an active pacing strategy generated through Bulgarian Trail Rating.

What is new

- Added support for fenix 9, fenix 9 Pro, fenix 9 Pro Solar, Enduro 4, Approach S72 and MARQ Adventurer (Gen 3). - Planned aid-station pauses are included in the race timeline, with moving time kept separate. - Clearer guidance when GPS position is uncertain or you leave the course. - More resilient plan downloads and offline storage. - Instinct 3 Solar and Instinct E are no longer supported because their memory is insufficient for this release. Instinct AMOLED models remain supported. Before starting, sync your plan and compare the plan code on your watch with BTR. Garmin controls background sync timing; keep the last confirmed plan available offline.
