Has anyone had issues with the Zumo 590 LM brightness? I have mine set to 100% and power from the F3 but the display sure looks washed out when riding. I have a hood over the display but it does not help much. I called Garmin but they said they have no issues with the display?

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

The biggest reason the gps is hard to see is the color of your riding jacket. Black it will likely be fine. Bright yellow it's going to suck.

:agree: Reflected light is the most-likely culprit... :banghead:
Reflections - Yes silver frogg toggs will cause reflections on the screen.

My 590 display is set at 100% and I frankly have never given much of a thought about whether or not it's washed out. If it's because of my dayglo yellow jackets, so be it. I prefer the visibility of my carcass to cage drivers over the brightness of my GPS screen. YMMV.

I've found the same. Also the 660 is brighter.
To be honest, had I known about this from the get-go, I would never have "upgraded" to the 590, and kept my 660.
