Garmin Nuvi 200W

eagerv

Hi,

New to this forum. Have a 200W for over a year and generally very happy.

One problem I have is when driving along the name of villages and small towns do not show on screen. I have map detail set to "most".

The only way I can check to see where I am is to go off screen, which is a nuisance as machine is a bit of a stretch away.

Is there any way of changing settings so all available info is shown on screen when you are driving to a destination?

Other problem is the distance remaining to destination is not shown. Only distance to next turn. Having to go to another page to get this info is not ideal.

Other machines I have used incl Tom Tom and Route 66 seem better in this respect. Or are there any updates on the Garmin that would fix these problems?

Cheers.

mine shows street names, have ya got it zoomed in enough, when i zoom out a bit it only shows the roads with no names

Shows the street names and housing estates but not the name of the village/small town. Have tried it with different zoom levels with no luck. Thanks for reply.

No don't think the town names appear. Its annoying as hell, it would make ssense to show town names. AGHHHH:mad:

I agree. The more I use a Tom Tom the more I realise how weak the Garmin is in this respect. Just travelled all across Ireland on secondary roads and would have liked to have known the names of most of the villages! I always seem to miss the road signs.
