Display question

I like having the elevation simply displayed on the lower right tab, rather than as the big elevation profile. Sometimes, I display direction. I know about the 3 box Trip Info display, but none of these options seem available when following a route, it seems I can only display route attributes, and the one I really care about is already displayed at the top of the screen. Is there a way to use this tab for direction or elevation when following a route?

Don't have a XT but it should be, hopefully someone with a XT will chime in. Certainly possible on the Garmins I do have.

Press thee area you indicated and you will get a list of options. Elevation and Direction are both there.
Press the relevant green "Plus" symbol and the chosen item will replace the previous option.
You may need to do it while following a route as well (Just once).

That's what I had been doing, but it turns out I needed to scroll further down. All the trip related stats are at the top of the list, but elevation and distance are down below and selectable. Thanks.

It is a shame that Garmin didn't provide the capability to change their order like you can with the options behind the three dot button. I would love it if Direction, Elevation, and Time of Day were at the top.

I'd be good with direction and elevation. I've already got time of day on my bike.
