    I just found the compass screen is more useful than a compass. It displays the name of the street your on. Handy as I'm on a lot of streets I never knew the name of. Also the speed limit is displayed all the time. If your over the limit, there is a red line a red line around the speed. This information may all be on the navigation screen, but the compass screen is fine when your not lost. I like the fact the speed limit is always there while monitoring me.

    I leave the large screen displaying the music artist and song.

    Heads up and spedo has engine bar graph.

    Thanks, Tom. I didn't notice the red line around the speed limit sign. I'll have to look. I try not to become distracted by all the hybrid displays, graphs, etc. On the large "Darth Vader" black screen, I have the usual 3-screen setup: radio, weather, and Nav. (It's nice that you can just turn that screen off, if you want.)

    I have home configured for half with eco readout, half with Nav. One cool thing is if you press the half screen it goes full screen. Great for driving when I need a bigger map.

    FWIW on our 2016 Prius v Three I use the Hybrid System display on the upper screen and a two panel split display on the main screen for weather and navigation. I sometimes switch to full navigation mode in a town I am not familiar with or on the open road while traveling on the interstate.

    When I first got the car I used the Eco Score display to try and train myself on driving the car but that drove me nuts watching the score. I find it more useful keeping the car in Eco or Ev mode on the Hybrid System display as much a possible than watching some funky score that really has no meaning to me. I think that is paying off since the car Trip A computer (that I use to monitor MPG between fill us) is saying I am getting 50 MPG around town which I will check manually on the next fill up.

    Eco score is about as useless as they come. I had one time where I had got an outrageous amount, like 85 MPG and it gave me an insultingly low score of 75 or something ridiculous. I just use the from the flag MPG and try to keep it on the bat
