Screen fading on Garmin display?

[Tom Ehmke]

Hi Amos,My question has to do with screen fading on a portable GPS. I own a Garmin 12XL and have had it for 3+ years. It SEEMS as though the screen is fading a little bit. Is that possible or am I imagining it? I have a 12v hook-up for it, so I have it in the cockpit with me through all kinds of weather and it gets a lot of sun. waddaya think?Tom Ehmke

Fading LCD?

Tom.I am waiting for a more interesting response from Garmin regarding your screen fade.Have you tried turning up the contrast?

Thanks, Amos. I'll give it a try.

Amos,No, I haven't tried turning up the contrast, but I'm inspired now and will go right down to the "boat room" and get the Garmin out and give it a try.Thanks,Tom
