I’m interested in the data box with distance, bearing and time to go. How can i keep that info on the screen while navigating to a waypoint. I can’t seem to get that basic info on the screen. My old furuno go1850 had that easily displayed on the screen while navigating to a single waypoint

Yes, you can certainly add this information to your data box. Just swipe in from the left side to bring up your data boxes, touch and hold on the box you want to add or edit, and you should see a list of data that you can display. Range, Bearing, and TTG are all available options. We hope this helps!

@@FurunoMarineElectronics Can I have different data boxes for different screens? For the depth finder I may want certain items but for the navigation I may want the range, bearing, TTG
