My yearly post. It's getting dark earlier. I would LOVE for the backlight to turn itself on when in night mode, to save me the hassle of going through the multiple screens and scrolls to change it. Keeping your hands on the bars instead of mucking around the unit navigation is both a safety enhancement and a user experience enhancement.
1. Add a setting to optionally automatically keep the backlight on when the unit goes into "night mode" display.
2. Implement a reminder upon power-up that the backlight is always on and battery life may be reduced, with the option to tap something and disable that, or jump to the settings to disable it.
This should be a trivial change. Just one checkbox and alter the backlight logic where it turns off after a timer to stay on when in night mode with this option.
if ((display.mode == NIGHT_MODE) && (unit.settings.night_mode_backlight_on != 0)) { return }
