Possible new feature for Nuvi 7x0 after upgrade to 4.90

 

I may be incorrect on this, but I think for the first time, the "altitude" setting of the map detail is now shown on the main screen when the map is displayed. I know I never noticed it before the recent upgrade. This certainly makes it much quicker to return to a desired level of detail.

750

I just updated and there is a small number on the bottom left of the map 200: What is this?

Edit. It tells me the zoomed in data. This was never on mine before.

Where is your altitude?

That feature is not altitude, it's "zoom level" and has always been on the 2D maps I don't see it on the 3D map view even with the 4.9 update on a 750/760

If you want altitude you can always look on your satellite screen.

4.90

I no longer seem to have the satellite display screen since updating to 4.90. Has anyone else experienced this or am I doing it incorrectly.

I press and hold the satellite signal strength bars for 5-7 seconds -- no response.

UPDATE:

Strangely after powering off and leaving for a brief period and powering on again lo & behold the Satellie display screen is back .. very strange.

I used the "My dashboard" link to update for the first time. I wonder if there is any connection. I think I'll got back to "normal" downloads for the future.

zoom level would be nice

I have held off on the upgrade to see how it has gone for others. I would like to have the zoom level displayed in 3D though.
