Basic Setup, two displays

2197957

Garmin 830 bicycle computer

We are having a difficult time navigating through the setup procedure.  The goal is to add a couple of data screens.  We don’t race or compete, just want to monitor how we do over the days and months.  We have the manual, but obviously are not reading it correctly.

First Questions:  If the map is displayed, how many data fields, such as heart rate can be displayed?  With no map, how many fields can be displayed?

The first setup is for a level ride.  The options desired, displayed left to right then top to bottom:

Heart Rate, Cadence, Speed, Distance.  Map would be nice.

Second setup is for climbs.  We live in hilly San Diego and need a screen for that.

Need heart rate, cadence, slope, map.  Depending on how many data fields we can get, add distance and speed.

We considered showing a bunch of screens that we got to, but that becomes too much.  Please walk us through the first setup and we can probably figure out the second one.

Thank you for your time.

    You can have two data fields on a map screen.  Thinking about my 830 you can get at least 8 data fields on a non map screen.  I don't know off the top of my head what the limits actually are on non map screens.
