Make your own tools without coding and use them in RACE, COACH and ADVANCE.
What it is for
TOOLKIT builds tools your way: one big value, a bar, a traffic light by threshold. They show live data and, once saved, appear in RACE, COACH and ADVANCE, in the TOOLKIT group. You can also turn them into a standalone overlay.
