Yeah as @Smallfurry says its water, or in my case condensation on the turbo and the screen just throws a shit fit.
I've not had an issue with brightness, if I dim mine manually its pretty much invisible and the battery lasts ages.
With the routing, I've never used garmin routing because its about as good as a blind man with a map givjg directions in another language.I'm using some assos gloves right now and theyre fine. Do you have touch screen gloves or just normal ones? Try some touch screen gloves. As it is a touch screen, not a push screen.
Beyond the screen shitfit when we, mine is really okay.

Yeah, no matter what setting I was using, it wouldn't go fully dark. When I first used it and the battery was dying I made it basically black out and was only readable when I passed under a street light but yesterday it wouldn't dim no matter what I did.
Do I need to return yet another shitty Garmin product?
I've used it with my old Tuff gloves and that basically doesn't work at all. My Spesh semi-lobster gloves don't have special touchscreen stuff I don't think. I guess if I treat it more like a mobile phone it'll be ok and as for the shitty navigation, I'll load it with the Garmin City Navigator maps I own and try it again.
It hasn't crashed yet but I've not ridden 400k+ with it yet so I'll reserve judgement.
hippy
Another annoyance is the Edge 1000 is way less responsive to gloved fingers than the 800. Bashing the screen 20 times to try and bring up the settings page is a ballache.
Also, the screen doesn't seem to be able to dim properly. On the lowest brightness it should be almost invisible right? So why doesn't the backlight turn off on mine? All day yesterday it was lit up and I worried about battery life then as soon as I plug it into USB the screen goes fully bright and then goes into it's low light mode. Stupid fucking thing.
