I'd still rather have the right-hand pane in the Route screen contain:

- Distance to next waypoint
- Time to next waypoint
- Elevation
- Current speed

Rather than the distance/time to the end of the journey or the arrow. I never care about the end of the journey, only the next step. Heck, if I want to see the end-of-journey data, I can twiddle the knob to the end of the list and see it.

I don't have a real appropriate "useful" reason for it, I just like seeing the speed and elevation on my GPS readout all the time.
