In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the display is in an overhead console and the information entry controls are located at the forward edge near the top of an armrest console where they are conveniently located and readily available to the operator. In one preferred embodiment a rotary left-right switch is provided to allow the operator to select display information for entry.
