Customizing your StreetPilot 2610/2650
If you’ve experimented with creating routes and finding places using your StreetPilot, you may feel you’re
ready to customize it to suit your navigational needs. Take a moment to look at the options in this section
and decide which features you’d like to customize.
Adjusting the Backlight and Contrast
The StreetPilot touchscreen display and keys are illuminated for operation at night or in bright sunlight.
Backlight intensity and screen contrast are adjustable. When operating the StreetPilot at extreme
temperatures, you may find that minor adjustments are needed to obtain the clearest screen.
To adjust screen backlighting and contrast:
1. Press the remote or unit MENU key. Select ‘Display’ from the ‘Menu’ page.
2. Adjust the backlight and the contrast to the desired level by experimenting with various bright and
contrast combinations. To have the unit automatically adjust the brightness, place a check in the
‘Automatic Brightness’ box. For optimum Automatic Brightness results, set the brightness to a middle
level. If Automatic Brightness is checked, the lower the brightness slide level is set, the sooner the unit
reaches a minimum brightness level. The unit automatically adjusts the level depending on ambient light
conditions. (Note: If Auto Brightness is checked and you move the ‘brightness’ slider bar to its highest
setting, the brightness for the unit will not be able to automatically adjust itself.)
Turning off Satellite Reception for Indoor Use
Use Indoors (or) Use Outdoors — The Use Indoors option
stops satellite reception, speeds Map page drawing, and is used
for practicing with the unit. The ‘Use Outdoors’ option receives
satellites for real-time navigation.
Adjust your StreetPilot’s backlight and contrast by
pressing the Display icon on the Menu page, shown
above. Access the Menu page by pressing the MENU
key on your StreetPilot.
