Subject: Garmin 310 and 910 getting older

So a question for the older ones amongst us.  I have noticed I am having more problems seeing my 310 in the basement on the trainer.  Some of it is probably the light and some of it is, well I am getting older.  So any of you out there, whom had the 310 and upgrade to the 910 notice a difference in the screen?

I am waiting to see if it still gives me problems when the sun comes back to Michigan.  However I am curious if the 910 is easy to see in the sunlight.  Especially for the 50 and older group.

LOL, no.  I am the same, especially in the morning.   You just need more light.  910 is not any better

I am not sure if the 310 has a backlight adjustment but the 910 does so I find it easy to see I low light conditions. I never owned a 310.

Try cranking up the backlight and then playing with the contrast. I usually have mine set so the backlight is always on, but it does decrease battery life. Don't forget that you can temporarily turn on the back light by double tapping the screen.

They make bifocal sunglasses, sounds like you need to go there.  All part of aging, better than the alternative.

Not in the over 50 group, but in the bad eyes group.  I have a 310 and leave the backlight on permanently aswell.  A lot easier to see.
