Garmin Data Fields

MapMy users that run with HOVR Connected Shoes and use Garmin devices will be able to modify their watch data fields to get stats from their shoes in real time! 

Getting Started:

1. Download the UA MapMyRun app from the App Store or Play Store.
   
   

2. Sync Garmin Connect with your MapMy account and pair your HOVR shoes to your MapMyRun account. Your shoes must be on the latest firmware so please go through the entire pairing flow of your HOVR shoes to the MapMy app.  You can learn more about how to do this in the help center articles below:

3. Download the UA MapMyRun Foot Strike Angle Data Field from the Connect IQ Store onto your compatible Garmin device. A device must contain the BLE (Bluetooth) API so that the Watch can connect to the shoes via Bluetooth. These are also listed in the “Compatible Devices Tab” in the Connect IQ Store.

4. Add UA MapMyRun Connected Shoe Data Field to the watch face for a Form Coaching eligible activity. Follow the instructions below to attach the data field to your watch:

   1. Activity Settings (watches have unique ways to access activity settings. Generally it's by holding the middle left middle button when an activity is ready to record. Please head to https://support.garmin.com/ for specific instructions if that doesn't work)  → Data Screens → Pick Screen → Custom Data → Pick Layout → Choose Field → ConnectIQ Fields (UA MapMyRun Foot Strike Angle)
      
      

5. Move your shoe around to activate chip and wait for haptic feedback on the pre-workout screen notifying you that shoe has been paired to watch.

   Please note: The UA shoe footpod should not be connected natively to the Garmin Account and you should not have MapMyRun app connected to shoes either.  Before beginning a workout on your Garmin device, please ensure you have force exited your MapMy app to disconnect your shoes from your phone.
   
   If you see blinking dashes in the data field then it is currently searching for a nearby shoe. The watch should vibrate when it has connected to the shoes and the dash should be static. 

    

   If the watch has not connected to the shoes after 60 seconds reset the workout and hit back to go to the main menu. Begin the pairing process again.
