Hi,
I'm looking to replace my old Edge 520 with a new unit that can display data fields in the map/navigation screen. I think only the 1030 can do that?
Thanks!

The 520+/530/830/1030/1030+ can all display 2 data fields on the map page.
I have 530 and also installed a ConnectIQ app that displayed 6 data fields on the map (takes up the space of stock 2 data fields). But I found that to be too much info crammed into too small of a space and I couldn't read it without being stopped. I downloaded another version of that same app with only 4 data fields in the same space and really like it.
And you can choose what's in them? Like time of day or temp?
This would depend on which data field you selected from Connect IQ, but yes, that should be an option.
Yes, they can display any data that any other data field can display.
Press on the square for a bit and you'll get an menu to pick what data you want displayed.
An alternative is to use an IQ "datafield".
One example is the following:
https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/8633c044-afff-4834-b71f-9f10113b5276
This displays four items in one data field. That is, you change the map page settings to display one datafield and then use this IQ datafield to display four things in that one field.
That is the app I was referring to. Thanks!
still having trouble on my 530 adding the 2 data fields to navigation. Any step by step instructins available?
A video is worth a million words, specific bit starts just after 6m00s but watch the lot for future reference
