My 1030 doesn't allow larger data numbers or map features. Compared to an 830, just more data fields or a wider view of the map.
There's
only two sizes of data numbers: 1. somewhat large, for fields that extend across the width of the screen. 2. a little smaller, for two-wide fields.
I just tried adding a new data screen to my 1030 profile. I started with two data fields.
With only a few fields, the data numbers aren't any larger! Just lots of wasted background space.
I can fit 5 full-width rows on the screen, with the same size font as it uses for 1 or 2 fields. The 830 probably allows four full rows? or maybe only 3?
With 6 to 9 fields, some will be full width and the others half width. 10 fields is the max, 5 rows of 2.
