appears to the right of each route waypoint. Use the LEFT/RIGHT keys on the rocker

affect the fuel flow measure. You should enter fuel flow rates based upon available
information for your vehicle (operator’s manual, performance specifications, etc.) and
make note of the desired units of measure (gallons, liters, etc.)
The ‘Show Map’ option allows
