When creating overlays for your activities, you can display various widgets. However, the availability of some widgets depends on the data present in your GPX file. Here's a comprehensive overview of what widgets you can use and what data they require:

Important Notes
- Basic Data: Latitude and longitude are always present in GPX files, so speed-based widgets are always available.
- Elevation Data: Most GPX files include elevation data, enabling grade and altitude-related widgets.
- Additional Sensors: Heart rate, power, and cadence require specific sensors during activity recording.
- Temperature: Temperature data is less common in GPX files - it depends on your recording device's capabilities.
Missing widgets?
- If in the app you don't see a widget you want to display and you think the data is available in your GPX file, let me know immediately.
