"I wondered if anyone had any ideas about achieving better night vision in conjunction with a GPS. The few times I went out at night and tried to follow the GPS...I found myself almost completely blinded by the screen. While I could read the GPS just fine, I couldn't see a thing in the water! In fact, it was so bad that I finally just turned the thing off and did my best following the lit buoys and shore lights."

Most good GPS units have a night mode and the ability to reduce the brightness sufficient to not impact night vision. I often laugh driving down the road at night with some of the idiots out there with a GPS on their dash lit up full brightness in daytime mode. Cleary they haven't got a clue about night vision.
