Garmin Mobile, Part.11-Navigation (2D)

Whilst Garmin Mobile is in navigation operation it gives you the following on-screen information:
Top left shows the distance to the next turn and its direction. On top of the screen it shows the road name/number. The black pointer shows where you are. Top right shows your compass bearing (e.g. NE, SW etc). Lower left shows you to press (1) to zoom out of the map, lower right shows you to press (3) to zoom in on the map. Bottom left shows you your speed of travel (mph/km), the bottom centre shows satellite status & battery condition, bottom right shows you your ETA (Estimated Time Arrival). A comprehensive set of data.
Having carried out a pedestrian navigation, I was disappointed that the detail in 2D couldn't be zoomed into more.
See Part.12 for a 3D variation.
