Apologies if this has been done before, but I searched the forums and couldn't find anything.

I have just bought a Garmin c550 to replace a disastrously unreliable TomTom GO700. On the TT, when you have set a route, you can customise the display to show time and distance on route, current time and ETA. The 550 only seems to want to show the ETA and distance to next turn. I can't see anything in the manual about changing the display, and there is no menu item to change this either. I really like the "distance to go" and "time to go" display on the TT.

So, you can see I have looked! Am I asking the impossible, or is there a fix? Or have I just not looked hard enough?

Thanks in advance.

Rich

No, this is not possible. Garmin do not offer this functionality on these ranges.

Tap the ETA at the bottom left of the screen and you will see a comprehensive display with your speed very prominent. As Swing said time elapsed and time to go are not available.

As I thought. Thanks for the information, folks. If it works, and keeps working, it will be 100% better than the Tomtom, so this isn't too great a hardship.
