Good call- At night its helpful to have one garmin displaying elevation only. Personally I wouldn't use turn by turn either, it drains the battery and increases the risk of a freeze too.

Yeah but without TBT you have to keep looking at the map which is also meant to increase battery drain and also increases the risk of missing a turn.

Why do you display elevation? I wasn't planning on having them both running, just having one as a backup for when the other one inevitably fucks ups.

Only makes a difference if you are using the backscreen light- wear a head torch at night, then you don't need to.

Elevation helps psychologically, plus its easy to run silly gearing at night when you cant see slope, but maybe that's just me.
