Information bar

 

My information bar was at the bottom, now it has shifted to the right side of the screen. I have an 1490T, is this after an update or did I do something? I liked it better on the bottom, takes too much screen room on the side. Anybody else have this problem? or have a solution?

New Problem

I have the 1490T. Haven't seen this problem.

MAP Settings

Have you looked at 'Tools > Settings > Map'. I don't have your unit but I think if this setting is changed to something like 'Less Map' on my unit it moves everything to the right side of the screen and will show more windows for information.

OK

If you want a change you can also try the 'More Map' setting if you have that on your unit. On mine it removes another information windows and makes everything else on the screen transparent.

I change my screen occasionally amongst the 3 settings just to have something different to look at.

That is weird

Changing my units settings fron Most, Normal, and Least doesn't change the information bar at all.

Which Units?

On my zumo 660 it is 'Tools > Settins > Map > Map Data Layout'. I can change it from 'Standard View' to 'More Data View' or 'More Map View'. I am not sure which 'units' setting you are changing. The only 'units' setting I have switches my GPS between Miles or Kilometers.

A zumo is different from a nuvi...

Map Data Layout screen

I know they are different but I think the 13xx and 14xx GPS units do have the 'Map Data Layout' setting or a similiar name.

The manual doesn't go into any detail for this setting but my friend told me about using this setting on his 1300LM to give him more data on the right side of the screen and lass map.

It also worked to fix ewayne1941's screen problem.

My unit is the NUVI 1490T. The map detail is the only thing that changes.

Use Standard Map Data Layout

On the main screen, select Tools -> Settings -> Map, then use the down arrow to go the bottom of the page. You will then see "Map Data Layout". Use this feature to change to "Standard", then you can move the information down to bottom. In this case, you can only pick two items to display.
