My gateway has a Function button that allows brightness to be adjusted, F7 and F8.

Al and I use Garmin and Microsoft street and trips on the Gateway. We find we need both. S & T voice is hard to hear unless you use a set of headphones. Garmin has FAR superior voice commands, as far as the turns coming up, etc. M S & T has better screens, names of streets and stuff show up better cause you have a nice big computer screen. They both seem to use the same uncle sam government maps, not perfect but pretty good till they add a new exit to the xpressway or something. OH, and we still have lots of paper maps in GMC too.

This subject has been discussed a number of times here, go look at the archives and do searches, long detailed discussions and pros and cons are here on the forum, you will get an education.
