field of view angle requirements for Garmin navigators?

Does anybody know what the horizontal field-of-view angle requirement is for mounting a Garmin GPS (like the GPS 175?). On an installation video I saw a diagram that showed 35 degrees (between the line looking straight ahead and the line looking to the right to the display), but the video said to consult the installation manual. I cannot find this specified in installation manual itself. My installation will have about 25 degrees off to the right. It's a small display on the GPS-175 but I'm hoping I'll be able to manage it in that location on the radio stack. Vertically, it will be near the top.
 
This is from the GNX 375 installation manual...
