Is it dark where you are?
Sit in a dark room and look out of the window. You can see everything. Now switch the light on. Now you can see **** all.

Exactly what i was about to post, with something lighting up the cabin you will see less out of your windows.
depends if its an unlit road or not
If its fully lit i cant say i notice it
Do on the stretches of the m1 that arent lit however ! When you're on your own at 11pm or whatever and there are no other headlights around and no street lights, even at its lowest setting the satnav feels like a torch in your face.

Time for a new satnav or phone then!
My Desire has an LED screen so there's no backlight to shine in your face!
Fair point but it is indeed extremely bright here, street lighting everywhere and loads of greenhouses only 2 or 3 miles away, I can barely see any stars ever in my area, you can see a red-orange ish glowing sky from the greenhouses here.
I can reasonably easily see the treetops 30 yards away while sitting 9 feet from my window with a bright bulb in my room.
I must admit I normally don't go on ANY unlit roads on any of my usual trips. All lit up like a Christmas tree around here all the way from my home to any parking I usually drive to. Can barely see my own dipped beams in most places. I drive mostly in city/town... And my sat nav does auto dim at night when I am driving a long trip somehwere. I never noticed a reflection bothering me but I do get bothered by external sources like full beam morons, badly set up xenons, fog morons, or extremely bright brake lights in the mcdrive or kfc drive or at the lights.

The answer may be that night vision does differ between people.
Nothing wrong with that, but some would find it easier to look through glass that's lit on one side than others.
OMG. How anal is your post?
Who cares if someone's a 3" screen sat nav turned in there car!?!
