I know two things about this forum:
1. There are some real experts here
2. I'm not one of them.
I feel to share something with you – having no idea if this is well-known or not. This may very well be known to a lot of you.
I have discovered – or, more accurately, been introduced to – a hidden page. This is a page which is not readily accessible to the user: the “Diagnostics” page.
On the “Home” page, tap View Map, and then tap the Speed field. Once there, place a finger on the semicircular area in the middle at the top of the page – and hold it for some seconds. After a while, the Diagnostics page appears.
My learning of this page occurred when a Garmin support person asked me to access it in order to check on something – and eventually make a change in a setting.
While this was done on a 3590 and 3597, it is probably/perhaps somewhat universal.

I also use it to set an 'accuracy circle' around the icon that shows my position on the screen. It's a good visual guide as to what is happening to accuracy as you're driving.
