Re: Stus-List Re chart plotter night mode
I generally leave mine in day mode also. The AUTO mode shifts from day to night colors at the official time of sunset, not at the end of nautical twilight, and it is still pretty bright then and night mode is hard to see. One controls the intensity of the display with a quick touch of the On/Off/Light button. That pops up a display with a sliding scale for the intensity of the light, which you adjust with the +/- buttons, then press SELECT. I’ve done it so many times I can do it in the dark… literally.

Re: Stus-List Re chart plotter night mode
Maybe a tinted lexan screen could be used to drop the intensity down?

Stus-List Re chart plotter night mode
Most of you probably know this but for those who have not experienced night mode, it can be confusing. The areas that are light/bright become dark and vise versa. This could make navigation confusing if one is unaware of the change or not accustomed to it. In well marked channels one is looking for aids to navigation and “stayin in the dotted lines“ (so to speak). In areas of large shallows, with few or no no aids to nav, following lines of demarcation with reversed colored/shaded areas could be dangerous until one gets used to it. ...don’t ask how I know. ___ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
