I recently noticed that the range indication on the GNS430 in my A2A Aerostar has a “-2” after the range indication: see the “5nm -2” text in the red square in the following image:
I do not have it on any other GNS430 and I only noticed it in the Aerostar a couple of days ago after fiddling with settings on the device. I suspect this is quite possibly of my own doing, but I have not seen anywhere that I could undo it. Any suggestions from the wise forum population please?
I believe that’s the declutter level. The “-“ is just a separation mark.
In the actual unit you press the “CLR” button momentarily to select the various levels. Not sure if that button is used in the sim version.

@Habu2u2 and @Maki152 Thanks very much guys, I wish I could mark both your posts as the solution as that which cleared it up for me. I could even figure out how it happened. If you long press the Clr button it goes to my preferred nav display. What I did was to let go of the Clr button before it toggled the display, so the GPS obviously interpreted the press as a normal selection press and changed the level of detail.
So while I want to thank you both, I think I will mark @Maki152’s response as the solution as it provides a tad more information for anybody having the same issue in the future.
And to me this experience was again a reminder of the value and benefits of the forum. I tend to sometimes get a bit frustrated with some of the forum content, but for topics like this it is just brilliant.
