I don't see anything like that on my R8...

Where did you find the engine voltage gauge? I've looked everywhere and the only voltage gauge available when I press and hold down to "replace data" is unit voltage.stifflkd wrote: Tue Jul 12, 2022 8:56 am I think I am in the minority. My kids think it looks good. I only wish there was more contrast of the bezel (outline) of the gauges

I really wish Garmin would publish their menu tree so that way you can get an idea of what is where and not have to do a bunch of trial and error. Last thing my family wants to do is watch me try and figure out the gauges. Last thing I want to do while in a cove is try to figure out all the gauges.

Re: Latest SW for Garmin 742 Plus.
I'm not impressed. Had I seen this post first, I wouldn't have downloaded the update. Does anyone know if the update can be reversed back to what it was?stifflkd wrote: Fri Jul 08, 2022 8:08 pm Anyone download the latest SW (June 22, 2022) for their Garmin 742 Plus. Really disappointed in the new graphical interface on the Gauge display. Interested to hear others thoughts.

Re: Latest SW for Garmin 742 Plus.
That is a big NO! Garmin says it can not be reversed. Best to call them and say the new look sucks and maybe they will revert back to the old look on the next release.Elkhunter2372 wrote: Wed Aug 10, 2022 11:52 amI'm not impressed.
