I'm on my third RM nav system, and I just stumbled over this page. I know that I'm not the sharpest bulb in the deck, but am I the only one? Anybody?

Stu, for what it’s worth I knew it was there. I’m surprised you haven’t seen it before.
On the home page if you go to tools, then fuel you can keep a running total of fuel added, cost of fuel, and mileage. It does it by quarter and yearly.

Yup... and the "1", "2" and "3" are individual trip computers that you can use if you're into tracking. For me, 1=to destinaton, 2=back home from destination, and 3=entire trip.

Yea, Stew, I found it also, and actually, you will see there are the numbers "1", "2" and "3" which means that there are actually three pages there, not just one. Gives you a lot of options, none of which I ever found to be useful the way we travel and the information that I consider important when traveling.

A couple months ago when I was struggling with a Cummins overheating problem, I brought up that screen with constant elevation shown, and it was very interesting to see my engine temperature go up and down depending on the slow rises and falls in grade in a state like Arizona, when there are no mountains around, but you are steadily climbing 400-600 feet and done realize you are on that kind of slow rise.

Personally, I like the trip computer and refer to it often, while traveling. It's not better or worse than any other automotive trip computer.

While on the main map screen, if you press on the speed indicator, it will bring up the trip computer.
