Option to disable Animations completely?

On iPhone/iPad:
Reduction of motion does not disable "slide moving" of screens.
It disables "in/out flying icons".

i dont get it, what IOS has to do with Garmin operating system

Nothing! The thread went a little off topic  

Truth is many if not all of todays touchscreen devices originated in iphones way of doing things....

+Animations in ios have a purpose. They bypass loading times.

The animations on the 1030 however seem more of a gimmick as the data of the fields is shown in the animation itself. So the data is available but not shown instantly.

For me that adds precious time that occupy me while riding. I only want the info asap!

I would think that since the Garmin's CPU does not have much power in order to increase run time, that even without showing the screen slide away which you call animations, the desired screen would still take the same amount of time to display.It. I  would think that when using the remote, the screens would change instantly but it shows the same screen sliding.

I tried to time the screen change and it is under one second. I guess since I'm getting older, that one second doesn't bother me but if I was younger and in a race it could be a issue.

I have been following this forum for many years, but this is the first time someone has complained about it.

I actually see a benefit of transitions for new users as the animation resembles the swiping motion. Makes it more comprehensible.

But for experienced users Garmin should focus on usability and at least give us the option.

they ride only in the house, like garmin developers
