Thread: Newbie Question regarding destination summary screen

Personally, I only care about distance to destination. Some skins even provide option to switch between seeing one or all fields with a single click. But my favorite skin ability is timed display where a set fields are shown when the display is touched and disappeared after some time.
NextGen default skin, to me, looks much cleaner. But then that's another story.

Yeah I kinda agree on most points...Less clutter is better and the maps run smoother without the need of it having to update too many fields.... I do quite like the 3 data fields hence why the default skin looks a little cleaner with it up the side in my opinion

It's the "intelligent" management of data that's important. Cast in point, do you care more for a Nav to tell you instead of show you things? Especially when driving where you should be looking at the road and not at your Nav unit? But hey, some people preferred their radio over a Nav announcement.

I never knew that...hey I learn something new everyday
