Default GPS Icon?

Is there a way to change the vehicle position icon on the GPS screen?

My Harley allows several different little motorcycle icons, and you can even pick the color of the bike. My older Garmin did the same thing, it had a selection of vehicles or images. I don't particularly care for the chevron-arrow looking icon that is currently displayed. I went into the submenus, and checked the manual, but am not having any luck finding a way to change it...

Thanks!

I don't believe you can change the icon but my 14 has a little white Corvette as the icon.

Thanks for that. I wonder if it's a model year thing, mine is a 16? I'd prefer the Vette icon rather than the arrow...

Our 2017 has a triangle as the "car" and I like it that way.

What I really hate is that the triangle is surrounded by a dark gray, almost black, circle that obscures anything close to you, like an intersection. Idiotic.

Has anyone found a way to eliminate the circle, other than going into 3D mode which I don't like?
