y first Garmin and really disappointed in the lack of ability to have the dashboard on the side instead of the bottom.

I deliberately went for the widescreen version (2515) to use this facility but looks like it has been disabled somewhere along the firmware route....WHY?
It gives more vision of the road ahead plus bigger fonts for the dashboard.

Unless of course I am missing something simple

I have a Garmin 3790 and I'm able to have the dashboard on the side by changing the Map Data Layout setting. The Standard layout has the Dashboard along the bottom, but if you change from Standard to More Data, the Dashboard info conveniently moves to the side.

On my 3790 it is Tools/Settings/Navigation/Car/Map Data Layout

However when I checked on my 3450, I couldn't find it so I guess it might vary from model to model.

Good luck

Dashboards do vary from model to model, seems these days that Garmin is giving even more options to reduce the area left for the map Twisted Evil

On my 1490 I can also select 'More data' so I get the 'dashboard' on the side. Unfortunately AFAIK that is not possible on the 25xx or 34xx models.
