Your Satnav..

.... has a night mode. Use it when its dark to stop your Sat Nav filling your cabin with distracting light. Seriously, it isnt hard. If you can't work out how this works, get the bus.

Thanks!

And breath....

Mine does it automatically

Am I some sort of child killing menace because I leave it on daytime mode because I prefer it that way, and have it tucked away in the bottom right hand corner of the windscreen so as not to cause a distraction?

I have the brightness turned down anyway

Effort++

Normally the same muppets that have it attached right in the middle of the screen!

I saw that the other day. A chick with the satnav right in front of her face, it was as if she was driving the car purley looking at the satnav.

I don't see the problem with this. I don't look where I'm going anyway!

Or the ones who drive down the road with the interior light on, meaning all they can see out of the side window is a reflection of the interior.

PUBLIC TRANSPORT WAS INVENTED FOR THESE PEOPLE

Shush, the bright blue square is a terrific indicator that you are approaching a moron, proceed with extreme caution.

I never use night time mode. Though I have it quite far over to the passenger side.

It doesn't distract me at all.

stoke1863 · 14 Feb 2010 at 20:09

I just cant get along witht he sat nav on the drivers side. It has to be in the middle with me.

Fr0dders · 14 Feb 2010 at 20:09

my tomtom go does this automatically. Kicks in everytime i go through a tunnel lol

MarkDavis · 14 Feb 2010 at 20:10

I can't be bothered changing to night mode.

Doesn't distract me at all. The daytime graphics look better anyway.

Mine doesnt have a night mode.

Auto here too. But I dont think its a sensor, I think mine must be done via clock-sunrise/sunset or similar

Maybe if TomTom didn't use the genius colour scheme of all roads shown in green with your route shown in a slightly different shade of green people would be more inclined to use it?

I still use night mode to avoid the glowing ball of light in the corner of my vision though even if it could be better implemented.

i like tomtom night mode

Some have a sensor (mine does) but I think this just dims the screen rather than changes the mode. My one auto swaps at a pre set time.
