Map Data Layout?

I am learning a little more each day about my Nuvi 50. This little gem is a hidden choice in the menu : Settings/Map/Down Arrow. There is a lot of talk about customizing your Nuvi display. Well this feature can change what you see on the screen in a big way. The standard layout has 2 data fields on the bottom of the screen, one of which (left) can display one of 3 (Direction of Travel or Elevation or Time of Day) while not in an active route. In a route the left one can display 1 of 6 (Those 3 or Arrival Time or Distance or Time to Destination).

While using the More Data Layout option the map screen shrinks to 4" so there is a small price to pay for this additional information. So even the "Essential Series" has a few bells and whistles.

Of the 4 data boxes displayed on the right of the map you can change the top 3, to 1 of any 3 (No Route)or 6 (Active Route) data values by pressing the box and choosing the type of data you want displayed.

My 3790 also has an option for waypoint arrival times.
Nonetheless, very nice to see.
