Number of data fields

It looks like we can only choose between 1 large or 4 small data fields. Unlike the Oregon, we can't have 2 data fields. Or did I miss something?

Lost me here.
Data fields?
In which app?
In maps, you can have two or four.
Thanks,
Mick

Hmmmm, I see where they added the Large Data Field in firmware 3.30, but I do not see any mention of a two data field dashboard, and I do not have my Montana with me to check it right now. Will update my reply again later.
UPDATE!
Feature Request #44 (in the common issues page) from June of 2012 requested a two data field dashboard for the Montana, and like pretty much every other feature request, Garmin declined.

Sorry.
My mistake, and my memory is wrong.
Yes, four data fields in maps, or only ONE ..............
not two.
I wonder if in the old days it was two?
Maybe not.
Sorry.
Mick.
