Compass/Altimeter lighting level

[Mad Hatter]

I’m slowly finding my way around my new grenadier and enjoying it very much so far. One thing that I’ve not worked out yet though is how to adjust the lighting level on the compass/altimeter. At present it’s ok to read in the dark but very difficult to see in daylight and the instrument and screen lighting adjustments don’t seem to do anything to the compass. Can anyone enlighten me (pardon the pun!)

There is some history (but no fix) about this issue on this forum. At least the duplicate altimeter reading (but not compass heading) can be continuously displayed at the top of the main display screen.

Thanks Bill, I did see an old thread on it but hoped it might have been resolved.

Does everyone else have the same issue seeing the compass?

About all I usually see (in daylight) are the big letters such as N, E, S, and W.
Digital readout is only visible at night (glad this isn’t an aircraft).

Yep, the lighting is backwards, if headlights are on, backlight for the compass is bright. If headlights are off, backlight is dim. No menu option to change it that I have found.

Really dumb qc oversight. It’s also a rather useless feature… wish mine off the lot unit didn’t come with it

I’m reassured that mine isn’t any more duff than anyone else’s but it’s disappointing you can’t read it in daylight.
