Default Temp Display?

Does anyone if / how you can have the ambient outside temperature show on the main screen?

Right now, I can only have the temp show while using the NAV - on the bottom right hand side.

I'd like to have that showing all the time

Agree, air temp, clock, and direction should be displayed on ALL screens. This does not really take up that much space, either.

Don’t know about yours, but the ambient temperature display on my bike is ridiculously inaccurate.

Mine always has seemed within a degree of any of my weather apps, so i'd say very accurate.

The temp display on mine seems accurate too when compared with reported temps or nearby themometers. What it doesn’t do is react quickly to temperature changes. On a 40F morning I will push the bike out of the 55F garage, start the bike, put on my helmet and gloves and the temp display will still read 55 until I get 1/4 mile down the road where it will start dropping a degree at a time until it hits 40F. The temp sensor is probably mounted in a safe place that takes a while to reach ambient temperature.

Mine on either Touring bike is accurate within a degree or so, unlike on my '15 Camaro where the sensor must have been near the exhaust or some hot item. I could drive the car and the temp would read; say 70° and turn off the car. Upon restart it would read 125°

My 2010 was laughably inaccurate. My 2016 has been very accurate. I was told is has something to do with the thermistor; some are good, some are bad.

When your on navigation you cover the display you want to change and push right to get to menu selection of displays. When not on nav you hover over display and push toggle in to get to selection. You would think to make a change it would be the same operation not different to do the same function
