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!
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.
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.
