Marek Yes I can in fact adjust the brightness but I think that turns off auto dimming. You are correct though … not when making a passage at dusk between two shoals though
My Raymarine a65 was a different story. It was always bright and lit up inside of boat from Nav station after dark. Finally discovered the brightness adjustment on that as well to make it dimmer. I do have to say though that in some ways I really preferred the physical buttons on older chartplotters to the touchscreens. In particular I liked my Standard Horizon CP180 and its charts on our last boat much more than the Navionics charts and lack of buttons on both Raymarine A65 and Garmin GPSMAP 740. The benefit of the touch screen however is a bigger display which makes up for the clunky menus.

I have a smaller unit (420) and it allows for adjusting the screen brightness (and auto-dimming). If I recall correctly, you press the power button (I think that the long press is off, so the short press should bring you to the brightness menu, though it might be the opposite) and you can adjust the brightness using the left-right panning buttons. Try it on yours, but probably, you don’t want to do it coming into a harbour at dusk. Marek “Legato” Ottawa, ON
