I had the Rider 2013 and the next instruction showed the route name for the next turn. I now have a Rider 550 and it does not show the next route till 2 miles or less before the instruction. Can it be made to show as soon as the instruction is shown. I know I have to learn the 550 but so far after having it for 3 months I am sort of wishing I had kept the 2013.

Tap 4Dot (.... Menu) --> Settings --> Guidance View... Check if....
'Show current street name' is set to ON
Tap 4Dot (.... Menu) --> Settings --> Voices... Check if....
'Read aloud early instruction's is set to ON
Also With a Route planned and a GPS Satellite lock...
Tap the Top Info Bar for the 'List View'
Tap the 'Back button' to return to the Map view (Back button is screen top left)
Also, the 'List View' is semi-live... When you are driving/riding, if you tap the top info bar....
Your present location is at the top of the list
The 2nd item on the list is your next Instruction and the route/road name
This can also be useful in Town/City When entering the next road, you can alternately tap the 'Top Info Bar' and the (Back button screen top left) to dip in and out of the list
It's not very useful halfway down a long Motorway, but if you dip in and out of the list, it does give the remaining distance to exiting the Motorway

My question is, if it knows the next route why does it not show it instead of just "Turn right in 5 miles"? I really do not want to reach up to the unit and hit a button and then back button to get an idea what road it is using as I may want to go another way. The older models showed the next road name.
Thanks for the suggestions though.

@VFR700F2 Your above statement is incorrect... You don't have to scroll down the List View.... When you are using the device... Riding or Driving
The List View is Semi-live... Each time you tap the Top Info Bar and the Back button to toggle between List & Driving View....
Your present location is at the top of the list
The 2nd item on the list is your next Instruction and the route/road name

I normally use the List View on a 6" GO 6200 in the car so its fine...

I created a .GPX Track On the Mydrive Web Route planner
Saved & Synced the .GPX Track to MyRoutes
Travelled the Track today... (22/08/2019)
Each time I Tapped the Top Info Bar to switch to List Mode....
The first item in the list was the present location (Road Name)
the second item in the list was Next Instruction + the remaining distance to the next instruction

How do you take screen-shots of the Rider 550 display, as you have done in your post above (your reply to VFR700F2)?
