Having had five days to play with the new software's view options, I came to the conclusion that, on long routes, the more data view was best.
I had it showing:
Time to turn
Arrival distance
Arrival time
Heading
in the boxes down the right hand side. The map / routing area was reduced to between 75 and 66% of the screen's total area which was fine.
If on the journey I wanted 'more map' I simply tapped the screen, giving nearly a full screen map view which I could then orientate to suit.
