NUVI 660 Current Speed Display

Had a look via search but can't see this question anywhere .......

I have a NUVI 660 (replacement for TomTom 910 due to really poor Customer Service).

NUVI is good and compares to the 910 fairly well, except the Current Speed, the screen information display shows arrival time on left and distance to next turn on right. Is there anyway that I can increase the number of displayed options to show Current Speed, Time of Arrival, Distance to Next Turn, Distance Remaining? (I am aware that I can tap the time of arrival and get a screen showing speed, top speed, trip distance etc etc, but then I lose the map view!)

Regards,
Garry

If you have entered a destination and are following the map screen then you see the estimated arrival time. If you are not following a route but are viewing the map you see the current speed (both in the bottom left hand corner)

If you are following a route you can, as you have discovered, switch to the "cockpit" mode where you can see the speed but not the map.

Unfortunately that's your lot unless someone else comes up with a secret combination of screen touches to get what you want !!!

if you're not navigating it will disply your current speed, when navigating it shows arrival time. there's no way to change this... Sad

Thanks for your replies. Its a pity as this is the only area where the 910 beats the 660 that I have found so far. Overall though it appears to be a better more solid unit
