GPS query

[Andrew Hobbs <>]

Hi,

I can think of two possibilities.

1.  Is the display has developed a fault.  These days it is probably 
much more cost effective to replace the entire unit.
2.  Did someone fiddle with the settings.  On my old GPS (Not a garmin)  
I can set the display intensity in 1% steps from very light to very 
dark.  Would be worth having a look at the GPS settings before starting 
to get too worried about 1.
Cheers

Andrew
