The manual says: “You can tap the touchscreen to turn on the backlight.” That works, but… The manual also says: “When the timer is running, tap the screen to view the timer overlay. The timer overlay allows you to return to the home screen during a ride.”
Coming from the Edge-1000, I expect a single touch of of the screen (at night) to turn on the backlight and only a 2nd touch of the screen to turn on the timer overlay.
The Edge-1000 had this right, but the Edge-1040 is a step backwards.
Question: With the Edge-1040, while recording an activity at night, how can I *just* turn on the backlight, without turning on the overlay screen? I don't want to touch the screen to turn on the backlight, and then have to touch the screen a 2nd time to turn off the overlay.
