Multi Views
Customize your GPSLogger II Screen
Overview
GPSLogger offers multiple ways to allow you to see the different data simultaneously. The simplest way is to enable two additional views beside the main view.
As already described in the Main Views Section it’s possible to start GPSLogger with additional views (or temporary enable/disable them via the main menu) and adjust the aspect ratio between the main and the additional views. You can think of each of the screen parts as a container, that is capable of showing an own screen instance - just in a different size. The alignment of the three views depends on the orientation of your decide (portrait or landscape).
With the concept of allowing up to three different views to be present at once I had the opinion that this would give the user all the flexibility that is needed. As more external sensors has become available, there was the need to offer an additional approach to customize the available screens.
So beside the possibility to show 3 different views on the main application screen, four completely free configurable
views have been added. These views called Multi View I - Multi View IV. For each ot this four views you
can select up to 6 different values tobe displayed.
Since you can of course also show different Multi Views as one of the three main views, you have the option to configure & show up to 18 different values on your main screen (3 x 6 values). That might already feels like sitting in the cockpit of a plane.
But of course you don’t have to specify for each multi view 6 different values - the size of each value will be adjusted based on the overall screen space, since each value will consume the same space. So the layout of the views is totally dynamic.
To make the setup process even more complex the multi-view field definitions also support the multiple profiles feature.
So for each of your activities you can define a different set of multi-view fields.
Available Fields for Multi Views

Is there any value you miss? Please let me know!
As example - for cycling, I have the map as main view and have the three different multi views configured to show 4 different fields each:
- View 1:
- Power
- Heartrate
- 30Sec Ø Power
- Speed
- View 2:
- Distance
- Distance to Finish
- Elapsed Time
- Next Navigation Turn
- View 3:
- Accent
- Grade
- VAM
- Next Navigation Turn
