Add Power Save Timeout setting

Could Garmin please add a "Power Save Timeout" setting to Edge devices just like on Forerunner devices. Sometimes I turn on my Edge 530 but then have to wait around for a while before the ride starts. And then I find that the Edge has turned itself off to save power, so then I have to turn it on again, make sure the sensors are properly connected, search for the right course, etc. It's a hassle. I wish there was an optional setting to make it wait longer. I understand that would reduce battery life but I'm not concerned about that.

There is a setting in the edge just like the FR series. Disable this: in a pinch if this is not enough just start your activity for 1 second and then pause it screen will be fine then

Using Auto Sleep

You can use the Auto Sleep feature to automatically enter sleep mode after 5 minutes of inactivity. During sleep mode, the screen is turned off and the ANT‍+^® sensors, Bluetooth^®, and GPS are disabled.

Wi‑Fi^® continues to run while the device is asleep.

Select Menu > Settings > Activity Profiles.
Select a profile.
Select Auto Features > Auto Sleep.
