Garmin Data Screen
I found a screenshot of this data screen 
. It does not look like any I have available on my Edge 530 and I wonder if it is only available on a newer or different model head unit, or if it available for download somewhere/how.
Anyone?
Anyone?

Did you forget to add the shot of the screen to your post?
If it's just data, you can build a customized display with your Edge 530. Pick the number of fields you want on the screen and then tell it what data you want them to show from the list of available data fields.

Here is a list of the data fields that are available to you...

However some screens might also come from the Garmin IQ store apps you can add.

And I think some stuff won't show up unless you have that sensor that's required to give those fields. As in the list of fields, there aren't any of the Di2 fields listed. However when I added a D-fly to my Di2 to let my Garmin 530 see the Di2, then I got several new screens with those particular Di2 fields shown.

The screenshot image is missing.
Add the link where you found it if image uploads are not working for you.
I have a 530 too, curious what you are seeing.

The interface for the x40 series differs in appearance from the x30 series.
But without the OPs screenshot, it is hard to say anything.

These are big honking data fields that have subfields defined in the custom data field.
You set the Garmin to have one data field and the custom field displays a bunch of stuff inside the one field.

Yep. So it (or something like it) is likely available for the OP's computer. Though I suspect OP will soon learn why such a screen is probably less useful than a less data-rich display.

Also, I had never considered that there might be more display options than came loaded on the unit and am curious what is out there.

I've got a 1040, which has a larger screen...and I'm not even using as many data fields as can be fit into the most data-rich native screen format, since it's just too much to take in at a glance.

I have a 530. I try to put only a few items on per screen. My default shows a clock, only.
