Map Info Setup HDX

[jnmeade]

I'm thinking of how to set up the Map Info column. I understand it is largely personal preference, but am curious to know your setup to see if there are some good layouts I should emulate.
My airplane is IFR capable, and I want to support that kind of mission, but I mostly fly VFR on shorter, often direct routes.
Thanks for any observations.
Also, my Map Info column seems to be not Touch capable. Is this normal?

Attached is a screenshot taken from my Co-Pilot display showing how I configured my Map Info column. The top 4 boxes display my Next Waypoint info, with the next 4 showing the Final Destination info.

The 2 lower boxes show VSR/Vertical Speed Required (to Next Waypoint) and Ground Speed. Since Dynon's update of adding the AGL option, I have changed my lowest box to display this info instead of Ground Speed.

I'm not sure about the Map Info boxes being Touch Capable, as I've never tried. I searched the Installation and Pilot User Guides and find no reference that they are. If they were, what would you want to adjust/change?

Here is what I have mine set to. I fly IFR and VFR. I have an IFD540 for primary navigation. This works out perfect for me.

Yes.
