When out walking for a cache, not a problem at all.<br>

<p><font size=3 face=Arial><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial'>So
i bought the new <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Colorado</st1:place></st1:State>
400T and while do LOVE the unit itself and all the Geocaching features it has,
I CAN NOT STAND how dim the screen is. Even with the back-light turned all
the way up it is almost impossible to see when your in shadows outside and you
have to angle it just right to be able to see in sunlight too. Even inside in a
dark room it is dim. Forget using it while driving. Too bad.... other than the
crappy screen it is an AWESOME unit.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face=Arial><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial'> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face=Arial><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Anyone
else with one having the same issue? I updated the firmware which took care of
every other issue I saw posted in the forums on-line -- but firmware will not
increase the brightness of the lcd type screen they used. : (<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

hope Garmin switches the screen type soon! I may have to return this one.....
and wait for one with a new screen hardware.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
