How to Change the Color Mode for the Approach Plates from Day to Night on an Garmin aera Portable.

Viewing the approach plates while on approach at night can be difficult to look at since the background of the plate is primarily white.

To Change the Color Mode on the Approach Plate Display:

  1. From the Home screen, select Tools.

  2. Select Setup.

  3. Touch Display.

  4. Scroll down the Display Setup page and touch the configurable option for Color Mode.

  5. Selecting Auto will allow the aera® 660, aera® 760, aera® 795, or aera® 796 to automatically dim at the time of sunset everyday. Otherwise selecting Day or Night will allow the display to appear bright or dark depending on the selection.

Selecting the color mode from Day, Night, or Auto will dim and brighten the screen for better viewing during the day or night.
