What happens if you try to deselect them? Have you hard reset yet?

3790 does not have 'Map & Vehicle/Dashboard'. Caty's is 37xx/34xx, that's a 34xx feature.

Well, the only way to deselect, is to select another. Then I will have two buttons with the same content (I tried). But I am happy with all three, just liked then better on the bottom.

No, did not do a hard reset and cannot do that. I am in the middle of a trip, going to Providence (RI) and Canada in a couple of days and do not want to risk the GPS operation.

But thanks for the idea !
When the nuvi shows JCV, the button do disapear, so there no big loss on screen area, afterall.

The concern is more that it may be a symptom of some other problem, i.e. a firmware glitch maybe. What version are you running, 4.9? If you have earlier fw, after you finish your trip to Canada you should update the fw (and hard reset both before & after the fw update). No doubt you'll be home soon (you probably won't want to stay there long, the place is absolutely chock full of Canadians!). I can understand that you don't wish to do a reset at the moment, but if your problem is only a symptom as i suspect you may eventually have to do it if other strange behaviour surfaces during your trip. Bon voyage mon ami!

This button from picture is shown when you change in settings map data layout

Additional data fields (shown below) – Switch the data fields to the right side of the screen and get two additional fields which can be customized; you can do this from Tools. Settings > Navigation > Automobile > Map data layout > More data.

Nuvi 3700 Series User Manual page 48.
"...changes the amount of data visible..." means Data Buttons.
Read please.

Silly me !

As I mentioned before, I changed something that O could not remember and that caused the display to change !
And that was ...... more data on the map data layout, as pointed out by x-trail.

After restoring it, I got back just two buttons, "Direction of travel / Elevation / Time of day" and the regular Speed. Wide map area now available.

Thanks to all that responded, folks.

Well, learn something new everyday (then forget it 5 minutes later in my case). If 3790 has not had that setting 'More Data' enable since new (or after a reset) only 3 usual options are available when pressing the button next to the return arrow:
6833

Then with 'More Data' selected:
854799

and even after resetting it back to 'Standard' in 'More Data', the extra options remained as selectable for the single button on the bottom. Now for the 'forget it 5 minutes later' part: I must have done something else to get those extra options, 'coz i couldn't replicate it after i did a reset and was only seeing the original 3 usual options even with 'More Data' selected. Then the battery went flat and the cradle's out in the other car so i can't find it again. Any ideas Guys (& Gal)?

EDIT: OK, got the cradle back.
Found it: the extra options are only available if driving or simulating a route, then the 3 buttons can be customised... silly me!

Yes, good things sometimes do come out of stuff-ups. If you had hard reset your nuvi before you posted initially Carlos, you would have got the standard screen back with the single lower button and then neither you or i would have learned about what was enabled by 'more data' under 'map data layout'. Silly us, mate!
