Default Fishfinder/GPS hidden screens?

I recently purchased an Eagle FF/ GPS combo. After installing it, I
goofed around with it in the driveway. Just wanted to make sure it
powered up before I put the boat in the water. Somehow I managed to
punch up a full screen analog speedometer. I see nothing in the manual
about a full screen analog speedometer and can't remember the key
strokes that brought it up. Are there cheat codes/ hidden screens for
the newer FF and GPS units?

This is what I bought...

I didn't install the speedometer sensor as the boat already has a
speedo. The analog speedo screen never changed because the boat never
moved, so I'm not sure if it was trying to read speed over land or
speed over water. The unit performed flawlessly on a recent 2 day trip.

It seems like anything with buttons these days has cheats or hidden
screens. You can even hack a coke machine.
