No odometer in off-road mode?

Am I missing something, or is there really no odometer reading when in off-road mode?

In the suspension app, the odometer/trip meter and battery temperature gauges are replaced with pitch and roll gauges when you go into off road mode.

Trip meter, not odometer. Competing demands, probably want to see your barrel-roll numbers over your distance rolling down the hill.

Both the odometer and trip meter are in the same gauge.

Iff you have never reset the trip meter.

Settings > About is where Odometer shows.
It's also in the app on the vehicle home screen if you scroll to the bottom.
I wish it was on the driver's display like 99.9% of other vehicles.

The trip computer is an essential tool in some off-road adventures. So is the pitch and roll indication. But there's plenty of screen space for everything: just add a third column of gauges on the right and squeeze out a little of the white space around the vehicle graphic.

Everyone has different needs, which is why there should be dedicated screen space for user-configurable displays, with factory-configured defaults. It's a no-brainer the software industry has been doing for years. Why all those young engineers didn't do that in the first place is beyond me. You have a standard software interface for all displayable areas, a standard interface for all interesting values, a standard (extendable) set of display things like numbers, labels, one-line text, multi-lined text, gauges, etc. Select where you want something displayed, what you want displayed, how to display it. duh. Cripe, I'm ancient and I was doing this 30+ years ago.

GM knows how to do this, one example of the possible off road driver screen in my Hummer, many more parameters can be selected:

They spend so much effort making the interface pretty and cute that they compromise function :-(

Every time I’m on a dirt trail and in an off road mode, I am frustrated that there is no visible odometer or trip meter to indicate how far I am off the beaten path. This info should ALWAYS be available, especIally In the off road modes!
