Before or after he moved to Canada.?

I use a different model of Garmin than you, so perhaps yours is different than mine.

But on mine when I have the direction of travel set up (not North set to be up), my triangle never moves, only the map under the triangle moves. Thus, I know exactly where the triangle is, it is always in the middle of the bottom half of the screen.

Is your GPS different? As you ride, does your position (the triangle) on the screen vary?

I got used to knowing where my position was during the first few minutes that I was using it. My screen is a bit hard to see in the photo, the reflection of the sky above impairs the view of it in the photo, but the triangle position is clear, and it is always in the same place.

Yes. I have it set not North. It’s still disorienting when glancing down in bright light or shadow to see only blue. Take a look at the pic above on your phone, not a desktop, and tell me that can’t be improved with a different color triangle.

Since the triangle is always in the same place on the screen, why don't you paint an orange triangle over it with nail polish? We'd all sleep better at night .

I was considering a similar solution. Would not work as well for North Up which is useful in some circumstances

the ability to change triangle color from one that doesn’t closely match water would be a better solution.

Since I have not had any any problem with it, it never occurred to me that I would want to change the color of the triangle. Now, after years of using it without any problem, why would I want to change it?

If your biggest gripe about that GPS unit is the color of the triangle, sounds to me like you should be quite happy with it. If you are not, quit trying to use it now, it won't make you happy no matter what you do.

Not my only gripe with Garmin.

but yea, I’d like to be able to change the triangle to orange when riding lakefront.

that ok with you ?

Some people are only happy when they're complaining.

And others only when they are complaining about threads on bf. Lol

Much cleaner on the Wahoo


Side

Did you use a potato to take that photo?
