Subject: I switched back to US mode, now that the Accept screen goes away after a few sec Author: Brian (moderator) : member since January, 2005 : 6083 posts Posted on: 2007-11-06 16:52:54

I used to like the fact that Euro mode gave shorter distances in yards instead of feet. I also liked the idea of the way point function in Euro mode, but I never once used it.

I now like US mode more, because it will tell you turn instructions to tenths of miles on the display. Euro mode will only round to the nearest mile. That is a big difference when trying to get ready for an exit on a highway.

Plus, I like the fact that the "Emergency" option is back on my screen. I have used that once or twice, and I also like having a full screen of options.
