Oh NO!

Such a great device with fantastic features, especially the larger screen, but a HUGE FAIL ruined it all for me. How in the world did you not make sure the brightness was actually bright enough, especially at this price? I'm shocked that Garmin would put this G82 on the market without a brighter, amoled screen. Unfortunately it's a deal breaker. I'm shocked and disappointed by this. I took my new device to the course today and couldn't believe, of all things, they'd drop the ball on what's probably an easy fix. Looks like I'm going to have to return it.
