Hi John

The LCD characters are not lit at all. If they are selected they just block the backlight. The contrast relies on the intensity of the backlight and shows as letters or numbers as black (grey?).

I have the same problem with the Magellan I the maximum brightness of the backlight is still quite dim at full on. So much so that I can't use it successfully due to my eyes not being as good as they were. I went out and bought an Argo Navis and made a patch cable to use the Magellan encoders with the Argo. Great improvement. It stores the time with its inbuilt clock and location so you don't need to re-enter everything when you turn on.

Barry
