Q: Display Miles to Destination? Does the 855 allow the user to change between displaying Estimated Time of Arrival and Miles to Destination? Thanks!

I recently purchased the Garmin 885 T . I was dissapointed I could not switch to miles to destination on main screen from arrival timeGarmin did make it very easy to find destination distance --simply say TRIP COMPUTER and screen changes to dashboard view and distance to my destination is there.Say back and I am on main screen againVoice recognition on this unit is so good, I can easily accept what could be considered an inconvenience.SincerelyRichard

Yes, it does. There are 5 or 6 choices there (distance to, time to, time of arrival, and a few others).

I have an 885 T Can you tell me how to change Arrival time to miles to destination?SincerelyRichard

I have found this untrue. The map screen will only display estimated time of arrival. You must go to the trip computer to see the miles to distance.Garmin get with the program. You give us 10+ foreign accents but can't give us what we all want to know (Miles to Destination.)

yes, these can display one unit on the screen along with your navigation map. You can choose what it displays -- speed is one of the options, or you can put current heading (N, NE, SW, etc), miles to go to your destination, etc.There also is another "dashboard" screen that displays a speedometer and a bunch of the other numeric values (but no map).Overall a pretty versatile but still user-friendly choice of screens.

Yes and no. From my experience, you cannot CHANGE the units on the device, so the ON SCREEN display always shows Km. BUT in the REGISTRATOR VIEWER software, which i find much better than the software shipped with the unit, you CAN change to MPH so that the in-software displays show MPH. Hope that helps. Like I said, yes and no. I keep reading that future firmware updates will give you the option to change units from Km to MPH...

Patricia this is designed to get you places not keep track of miles so I don't think it does what you need. You Mark a starting point and when you want to get back it points you in the right direction. It can also get you back to a point by marking the point when you arrive, saving it and when you want to go back to that point you dial it up and it points you to it.

Yes, you can track three different travel distances. We have one set to do an ongoing accumulation of miles. One keeps track of our daily travel and resets after a 12 hour period. In the upper right hand corner you can set to see the time yet to destination or the arrival time or a few other choices, too. It will keep a running total of distance traveled.

Yes, there is an elevation indicator on the screen "on demand" along with time, direction, and distance to destination and time to go.

It only shows you what road you are on when it is NOT navigating to a destination you put in. When you are navigating to a destination the unit is "working" and shows you what it thinks you NEED and that is the NEXT turn and NOT the street you are on. This makes perfect sense. If you are in an area you don't know you don't need the road you are on but rather the road you turn on next and the distance to this road and turn. After all, it already gave you the road you are on when you turned on it. If it just said, "turn on Elm St." then you are on Elm St. :) Make sense?

Yes, you can switch it between km and miles. Plus, even in miles, it gives you records for like 1k, 5k, and 10k. And, you can make it do lap times for kilometers instead of miles.

Just bought a new 855 and installed the software updates (to version 4.70) before using it. Then, about 1.5 hours into its first trip, the unit froze. I just sent a help request to Garmin, and am anxious to see what they say.

I didn't get that far into the installation, still trying to figure out how to get American miles to show up instead of metric system. If u can answer that I would appreciate it. Thanks

I believe that if you touch the displayed name of the next destination at the top of the screen, the entire route remaining will show up on the screen that opens. The first item listed is the remaining distance and time to it. If I'm right, touch each item along the route to get a look at the configuration of that intersection. The remaining route may display on several succeeding screens, depending on the length of the route. I have the Garmin 2455LMT.

According to the manual that came with it theres a section called Using the Odometer which records the time and distance traveled. I am a golfer so I have never tried that function!

Ok I am finding the best way for me to manage multiple stops is just to punch them in as Add as Via Point, then go to Custom Routes, Current Route, Save, then Manual Reorder. When you are Done the GPS shows you a map with your Start, Stops and End flags along the pink route line. Manually Reorder again if needed. If you know that you can't park on the side of the street Garmin wants you to just over/under shoot your turn, it will reroute you to go around the block and still reach your point. I updated the unit with the latest maps yesterday and it still has a problem with oneway streets.

I can select which kind of route. I will try and describe how based on memory as the unit is not in front of me. After putting in the destination, the screen with the big "GO" appears. If one waits a couple of extra seconds, an icon appears in the very lowest, right- hand corner. Select that icon. The screen comes up with the list of options by words, fastest, most freeways, fewest freeways, etc. it takes the unit a few more seconds to populate each route with the time required. Then, again, select the icon on the bottom, can not recall ig right hand, or center, but it looks like a map. That takes you to a map with the three options displayed. Hard to tell, sometimes which route each takes. Good luck. I can select which kind of route. I will try and describe how based on memory as the unit is not in front of me.

You can print a report from beginning mileage to ending mileage-not broken down per stop. (If you can, I haven't figured out how to do it) I wish that it showed how long each stop took as well.

Yes it will, just start with your last stop, enter info, then enter next to last stop and add as via next stop and keep doing the same for all stops. You can view total trip or just leg of trip by tapping on time or mileage left to go in top right corner of screen

It has an odometer (actually 2 if you switch between 2 bikes) to display total mileage. This is on my wife's bike but I believe that odometer shows up in the bottom line of the display if you toggle through the views (temperature and time are shown on the picture in Amazon).
