[BaseCamp] Question of screen brightness

[Todd Witte]

I have 2 595 units, the Dezl 770 and the 2797 

2797 has 7" screen and you can get active weather radar like on our phones
Dezl 770 has 7" hi def screen- beautiful
The 595 units calculate very quickly but screen is small and dull and hard to see durnign the day.  I even run with sunshades made for it I found on ebay.  

WHY- can't Garmin combine all the features into 1 GPS.    There were some older units that even allowed you to see all your bonus locations (waypoints) on the map as you'e riding.

The 595 with the Dezl 770 hi def 7" screen with the 2797's active weather radar map along with the older gps unit that allows you to see all yoru binus locations on the screen would be the best.

I run a 595 side by side with a 660 and with both at 100%, the 660 is noticeably brighter during the day. I do like the detail on the 595 at night and when not in direct sunlight.

But the brightness of the 595 is a huge fail for Garmin. I'm very disappointed with that particular aspect of the unit.
