Turning Screen Off on Nuvi GPS

 

Is there a way to turn the screen off on a Nuvi without turning the whole device off?

A lot of times, specially if going long distance, it's a long ways before the next turn - and at night, the backlit screen is quite a distraction. It'd be nice to turn the screen off while the navigation going, and have the screen come on automatically when the next turn is approaching.

.

Locking the screen (usually sliding the power switch to the right) will dim the screen after a minute or so. While it won't be totally turned off/black, it won't be nearly as much of a distraction in the dimmed state.

Great!! Just tried it and I

Great!! Just tried it and I think it works better this way. You're the best!!

Although - it would be nice if it would turn the backlit on automatically when there is a turn coming as well a bluetooth call coming + unlock the screen to accept/deny the call.
