i have the same unit......you can just run it on active hwy and it will show speed. heading.and still be functional as gps...i think if you go into menu and settings you can make or create a page of what you want on there.....i think xshark has this unit and he may be able to confirm or shoot down what i said.......but active hwy is how i run mine....
