My Garmin Explore has a battery save feature that when activated will shut down the screen after about 6 seconds (gives a prompt when only 3 seconds to go) and will also use a brightness level of 50%. Tapping on the screen turns it back on temporarily to view then proceeds to shut the screen off.

My understanding is that the screen is the biggest drain on battery life. And here's my question. At 50% brightness I find it's too dim for my aging eyes. If I adjust the brightness level to anything above 50% when I return to the screen, it is back to 50%.

Is there a way to keep the screen at a higher brightness level yet still use the battery save mode to shut the screen off to save battery?
