thanks for this important piece of information.
I'd like to add that I stopped using the Edge Touring because it was essentially useless in bright light, under some conditions (i.e. sun's angle -- even trying to shade with the hand didn't really work. Had to stop to look at the map. OTOH, my phone was perfectly legible). Might be that Garmin's screen have been improved (my VivoActive is very legible under the brightest sun). Or that some models use a different tech.
