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

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

No, it doesn't store any trip information. Just has a limit alarm you can set when a speed is reached, pretty simple.

There is no way to do itinerary programming on this unit. You can create a route that has only 4 points. In addition, there is no way to load routes created externally (Tyre, etc.) This is one of the main reasons I returned mine. There are multiple features missing: No Backup, No compass, No Itinerary planning, No opening screen showing the owner's info in case it is lost. The 1605 is supposed to be the replacement/upgrade for the XXL. However, this is a large step backwards from the XXL that I own.

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 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.

How about the 885 without MSN Direct, and adding the GTM 20, which gives Navtec fm traffic? That's what I'm considering doing. Might want to call Garmin to see if this option will give you what you want. If you do, would you report back? Yes. 855 is the one i mean. Sorry for the confusion.

I think so. I havn't used that option, but I think I saw that on the enter location screen. I can check tonight on my way home.

Not that I'm aware of. From what I understand, some are manufactured to display Kmh, and others MPH. Luckily, the ones I received are MPH...since I'm in the US. It seems like it would be a simple process to provide the choice in all units. If it is changeable, I'd also like to know how.

Yes, but it may not offer you every single possible route. I usually get 2-3 options and it compares the mileage and arrival times for those options.

It can be set to display either Miles or KM. Zoom on the Amazon Photo & you will see a faint KM under the MI (Miles) indicator since the photo shows the unit in English units mode.

You can have it show speed (mph) instead of pace (min/lap distance). There's an option in the setup menu.

Hello...there are 3 buttons on the computer. The button on the far left must be held down until your trip odometer resets. Some times I have had to push and hold...let up on button....and then push again. Please don't try to use the instruction manual that came with the odometer. The instructions that are written on the back of the computer are much easier to follow.Sure hope this helps.Have a great weekend,Barb

Thanks for the update, dsrussell. I'll take your advice and check out the review of the 765 that you mentioned at gpsmagazine.com. It's too bad that the folks at Garmin didn't include this info about the 765 in their owners manual. Must have been an oversight on their end. Again,thanks a bunch!
