Hi!
I just did my first ride with me new Garmin Edge 540 Solar and I noticed that the auto brightness makes the screen not bright enough.
It kept setting the value between 15-25% (if I turn off the auto-brightness it keeps the last set) and I needed at least 40% at that moment to see the values clearly (the sun was about to set, but there was still some natural light).
At the end of the ride, I tried again and the auto-brightness set the value at 10% and I wanted it at 30% (maybe 25% at minimum).
I come from the 530 and I think it worked better in this matter!
Thanks!
