About the same as your take on the issue. It is very dim in the cockpit
without the backlighting on. If running on battery you can have the display
backlighting only stay on say 30 sec or 1 min. Then any keypress will light
it again. I've used this technique in the plane, but now have an aux plug
for the power so it can stay on if I wish. Incidentally, I'm very satisfied
with my unit and it does more than any other on the market for its price
range. The runway center line steering is awesome, almost like having another
LOC indicator in the plane.
