Thank you for taking the time to give a detailed response.
Whilst I'm pleased to hear Garmin do listen to feedback I'm still of the view that a device costing this much money should come with default settings that a typical biker wouldn't feel the need to change.
For example my previous post about not being able to change the default countryside colour... Really, why is it the same pale green for all the themes that come with the unit? There's not even an option to change it by editing the theme files themselves.
I will have a re-read of the manual to discover some the settings mentioned so far but one I'd really like some help with is changing the 3D distance view.
On iGo Primo you can choose - I seem to remember it was 5km, 10km or 15km together with on/off for zoom-out when there are no turns within the chosen distance view. When set to 5km it gives an excellent and detailed view of the road ahead allowing the rider to accurately assess bends.
