A question to those who purchased Magellan automotive GPS products over the
last year. Does the 'night mode' still work only for the map screen? I loved
my Maestro 4040 (until it died prematurely in eight months), but night
driving was a nightmare (pun intended). When switching from the map screen
to anything else, like the POI screen, the white background was blinding,
even at the lowest brightness setting.

The Maestro 4210 only has a night mode for the map screen. All the
rest are bright as ever.

Thanks Jim,
Sounds like I will stick with the Sony picked up as a replacement when the
4040 died. Far, far from perfect, especially in the user interface
department, but no night blinding...
