Sensitive GPS map to light/dark spots on the road.
So, I drive with my lights ON all day. Not just the DRL.
I've notice recently that the map on my GPS goes from white (daytime) to dark (nighttime) even when the car passes through the smallest shadows (like 30 foot long shadows while I go through them at 45mph). Once the shadow has passed, the screen goes back to daytime white again. No big deal you'd think but multiple this by 30 times in a mile, and the thing is basically just flickering between black and white. Seems like it is really too sensitive to detect actual dark, since these occurrences all happen during the day during full sunlight.
It is VERY distracting!
Has anyone had any experience with this issue?
I'm aware that the problem would be alleviated by turning my lights off during the day, but I don't feel that that is a solution.

You can change the sensitivity in Set Up. Lower it to minimize your distraction

Auto lights are Daytime Running Lights by day and all lights at night.
Leaving the switch in the On position gives all lights all the time.
Either way, any and all lights turn off after 30 seconds (default value).
It seems that states that require Headlights on with windshield wipers
do not consider DRL's as meeting the standard because the taillights
are not on.
