76CSx Map Screen Background

[+jonboy]

I purchased a 76CSx last week and I find that the background color on the map screen is black. I have this black background both on the basemaps and the older TOPO USA maps I have loaded. I haven't seen this on other units, and wonder if this is an attempt to remedy the problem of dim screens I have read about here. I am not sure whether I like this, but I have not been able to find any way to alter this background color so as to compare. It does seem that the smaller lines are more visible, but I like my map to look more like a traditional map. Has anyone else encountered this? Does anyone here know away to modify this background color?

 

Thanks.

Does anyone here know away to modify this background color?

 

maybe something like:

Setup | Display | Color scheme

 

Let us know what you find out.

A black background implies a "night" colour. While you're looking at the Display Setup check the Display Mode.

Thanks for the help, I was looking at the screen at night, and a black background is the setting for night, my old 76S did not have that feature. Once I changed from auto to daytime, I saw my map screen in normal mode.
