I use to drive 40K a year for work using a GPS on many occasions and 10K a year in the RV. As a personal preference, I NEVER use the traffic mapping features. First, it often takes you all over town, others who live in the area already know the shortcuts, so you rarely save time chasing alternate routes.
If it were me, just turn it off. Nothing says you can sit in your RV in the evening and play with the GPS. Settings will let you pick colors, View will let you pick 2d, 3d birdseye view etc. Just play with all of these. If you mess up all the settings and can't find your way back, go to settings and hit Return to Default.
Once you get the GPS set the way you like it, colors, map view, etc, you won't be messing with those options after that. We actually run two at a time since the in dash can't be changed while underway. I have the in dash on for freeway lane choices and route and my wife is running another near her where she can search for Rest Stops, Campgrounds, fuel stops, etc.
