Garmin should deliver high quality at such a high price. Users of the 1030 plus know the weaknesses of this model very well. Only Garmin pretends everything is fine.

Left hand

The left one may appear larger, but the right one, for me, has better visibility.

The right cursor is difficult to see on the real display while driving, especially when passing through the village and the city.

Why are you using an Edge 1030 Plus for driving?

OK.

I only use the map for navigation on my Edge 1030 Plus when I'm following a course on my smart trainer so my requirements are less demanding. Its impossible to go off route so if I do lose sight of the cursor it has no impact with regard to following the route.

For terrestrial navigation of any type in the real world I still prefer a good printed map.

For the Edge 1030 Plus it is theoretically possible to change the cursor characteristics using the .kmtf files in the MapThemes folder. Unfortunately there appears to be no public documentation of how the themes are implemented on the Garmin sports devices.

haha, it is rather the older generation that values a larger display and thus buys the 1030 plus ;-)
