maybe I'm stupid, but none of those seem too intuitively say turn off MacDonald's and such crap from the screen.
if I go into each of those 4 layers (5 if u include trip log) looking for ability to change stuff there is nothing that appears to let me play just a silly shrunk map with + and - buttons ???
The only nag I want is petrol stations, I can work out the rest myself.
And the clock isn't in 24hrs that makes me angry.
And can you kill max speed from vehicle info page? It was displayed on the speedo when I reached it, I don't need a record after the event. I'm not 3 years old any more...
I thought that too... ( Autobahn , IOM unrestricted , a trackday etc etc )
BUT the truth is, that wont wash ! I'm afraid like many similar GPS devices, it stores your speed and location !
If the authorities wanted to view it , thay can !

He, hubcap, can't do PM's as he's not a site subscriber, the £12 maybe being seen as a rip-off if all he wants to do is rant and moan, gathering around him other like minds, each more determined than the other to find fault with their premium priced, oh so complicated, piece of crap, that they were conned into buying, instead of staying with Waze - which always tells them where to go, which is why Uber drivers from Senegal use it to navigate Bristol - on their (expensive) mobile phone.
As to the rest? Crack on, as they say.
first i phone user maual is here http://pocketpccentral.net/pdfs/iPhone_User_Guide.pdf and its still 124 pages long amusingly or not its a fact. and its a fact that its still bigger than the 2 pages you insist it had that you say covered everything, and it only took all of 20 seconds to find. can you tell me the percentage who know it exists as i would like to know for reference as i dont know.
yes i agree most people can use an ipad or iphone very easily to do simple tasks make a call browse the web, its when you have to do something not so simple like coppy and paste or other similar functions that people may need the manual, i would bet diamonds if you gave your 95 year old dad an i pad before he had even used one or seen one he would not be able to do that without being shown or reading how.
With reference to Garmin being very small if you read what i had put it was a comparison to apple being as you have said, really big in fact. and if you wish to put it into perspective the figure you quoted for garmin is 861 million dollars and i agree that standing on its own is no small amount but in comparison (which is what i said) to Apple's worldwide annual revenue totaled $215 billion for the 2016 fiscal year it is relatively small.
apple did start small just the same as microsoft intell and indeed Garmin, but there was and is a massive difference between the demand for the very different products they produce. and that demand would have led to the difference in the size of these companies and there ability and speed at which they could grow and fund the brightest people to work for them to design and produce these very good items, also factor in that Apple was founded 10 years or more before Garmin which in the tech world is a lifetime they had infact a head start.
And apple seem to think that there phones are indeed not the easiest to use when first handled by a novice, this is from there web site pages.
How To Use the iPhone for Beginners
For people who have never used an Apple product, let alone a smartphone, using an iPhone can be an incredibly difficult and frustrating task. The iPhone is nothing like other phones, and is nothing like a Windows computer either. Simple tasks such as sending text messages and importing contacts can be difficult to a new iPhone user. Becoming familiar with the App Store and picking the right apps for you can become very costly if you don't know exactly how to use them before purchasing them. Many people complain that the battery on their iPhone only lasts a few hours. Did you know that enabling auto-brightness on your phone can extend your battery life by several hours? Or that closing background applications can extend your battery life and increase your phone's processing speed? Furthermore, many people are unaware that only charging your iPhone when the battery is near dead to a full charge can keep your battery strong for years.
Surfing the web on the iPhone can be a simple and enjoyable experience. Knowing the basics of using Safari and fundamental web browsing tools will make surfing the web very easy. This includes using multiple tabs, setting bookmarks, accessing mobile sites instead of the desktop versions, and accessing a website's app instead of its mobile version for easier use.
For a new iPhone user, who has no experience with newer Apple products, it can take several months to learn how to use most functions on an iPhone. The fact is, there is not much help out there for people who have not used the iPhone in the past. Many websites show marketing videos about all the cool things you can do with your iPhone, not HOW to do it. Unfortunately, you will never be able to truly experience all the great things you can do with your iPhone without a basic teaching showing you how to navigate it and control it. You may be able to take your iPhone, play with it a little, and figure out how to take a picture, but do you know how to share that picture with your friends? Or how to instantly upload it to your Facebook profile or create a photo album? Or what about removing the red eye in your photos or cropping them? All these things can be done with ease with our interactive teaching guide.

I think that about sums it up. there are a few lines in there that apply to lots of tech not just the i phone.
