Changing dashboard type (as in 390)?

Post by larsras »

Hi
I'm desperately searching for where I can select which dashboard I will use as I can in my Zumo 390.
Not found anything in the manual neither.
Anybody that can give me a hint here? ;-)

Don't believe you can, Garmin played with dashboards for a while on some models but then removed them from later ones. What are you trying to achieve though as there are often other things you can do?

Ok, that was kind of annoying. On my Zumo 390 i get more/less info fields depending on which layout I select.
The one I use right now, has in non navigation mode: Elevation, Speed, Direction and Time shown.
On the XT I only have two fields, which is: Speed, and one more selectable (pt. Time).

Ah that's not really a dashboard but Map tools that provide additional trip data fields. These are explained on page 12 of the manual.

Accessed by tapping the three dots bottom right then selecting Trip data.

Correct, works just like the 590 / 595. Just don't be surprised if you can't see ETA as an option, if, you're not navigating a route ;)

And like the 590/595 the trip data fields are defined differently when navigating or not navigating.
