Garmin, please add manual backlight adjustment under power button like in 520+

As every knows the backlight adjustment in auto mode is not always good. In some situation we want to manual adjustment this but this option is deep hide in system settings. It is very difficult to change it without stopping. In 520+ this was under power button - one short click and the brightness menu was showing. In 530 we have a small menu with 3 commands but without backlight adjustment. Please add one position for backlight adjustment in this menu. It will very useful for everyone who want to fast chang backlight level without stopping.

Thanks :)

    One of the problems with using the "Power" button is that, if you have that button configured to take a screenshot, every time you press it, not only would you get the backlight menu pop up, you would get a screenshot as well.

    I discovered this a few weeks ago when I wondered why I had so much of my storage space taken up and found it was because every time I wanted the backlight on, I was getting a screenshot. So, I had a big clear out.

    The only reason I have it configured like that is, I like to be able to get a screenshot if I see something amiss that could be a bug etc.

    I agree! Please add a 4th option in the power button to set the brightness. Simple. How could Garmin forget to add that? It's as if no-one in the Edge department tried it out before releasing it.

    Anyway, it's easily fixed by adding that shortcut to the Brightness menu. Cheers!
