Can the 2000C also operate with the backlight off? I can get 10+ hours on
the internal battery of the GPSMap 296 when using reflected ambient light
instead of the backlight. The reflected light is usually adequate for
daytime use.


I read in the user's manual that the backlight can be turned on and off.
I don't know how long the unit would run on the batteries with the backlight
off.
