G430 Display/Numbers or Pictures?

Approaches? Why? And what is your experience level with the G430?

I toggle between NAV1 and Flight Plan 0 page, with FP0 set to show
cumulative time and distance. I find that FP0 aids in SA by giving me the
upcoming waypoints in time and distance, which I use especially on
approach.

Oh, and perhaps my answer should be stricken from your survey because in my
aircraft the GNS430 feeds a separate MX20 moving map, which I also scan
heavily on approach (in track up mode, of course).
