have you checked the brightness setting?

On my Garmin, a Zumo, I have just set the brightness to low then turned the device off completely. When I power up the device the Garmin splash screen is full brightness then it reverts to the low setting before the next screen shows.

The brightness is indexed to the photosensor on the bike. I think you can set the brightness independently, but I�m not sure if that toggle is on the GPS or on the bike�s firmware menus. Normally, set the unit for what works for you and the bike changes the brightness so it�s consistent with the ambient lighting.

My NAV6 simply has a Brightness control option that can be set to Auto or Manual.

It�s easy to accidentally have it set to minimum or maximum when you prefer something else.

I just tell it what I want.
