Hi,
Sorry if this has been mentioned before but it's really bugging me.
What is the blue circle around the 'my location' black pointer?
I can't remember it being there before!
Also, I only have 3 fields showing in the'Ready to Navigate' screen. I can't seem to edit the direction (compass pointer) field which takes up 2 fields.
Cheers. |

| The blue circle indicates the GPS Accuracy, the larger the circle the less accuracy you have. |

Thanks for that.
Is it possible to get rid of it? |

As per Jaz666's post the blue circle indicates the accurracy of the unit in terms of your current location. So when you see the circle, you could be located anywhere within the bounds of the circle..
The only way to get rid of it (that I'm aware of) is to zoom out.. |

There is an option to have 2 configurable fields with direction and distance to next (this is what you have), 4 configurable fields or no fields. You can also switch the banner across the top of the screen on and off.
I can't remember exactly where you change it  - try pressing menu twice then then going to map settings.
I personally prefer the two fields with direction and distance to next format.
