SC nav in evening
I have searched through the FAQs but couldn't get my answer, so just post a quick question here and hope this is not repeating 
okay, on my GS430, the navigation screen would turn to night mode when it's evening, so that during the evening, the nav wouldn't be too bright for your eyes. I am wondering if SC430 has the same option, or no? It is way too bright for me to use the nav during evening, or maybe they design it that way ?
thx for the time.

And that's not all
Not only does the NAV system have a night mode, it changes to that mode when it feels that ambient conditions are suitable and that it would be in your best interests for the shift to happen.
Way cool.
Way cool.

yes, the SC430 Nav has a night mode. The screen reverses and is white/colors on a black background, versus a black/colors on a white background. Never a problem..

hm.. I will try again now, thx for the input guys, especially genearch. btw your SC430 is my all time top 5 on the GS, you could manually convert the day/night mode, oh well. brb

Both are correct. Use the Display Button to adjust contrast and brightness (last page of 2003 Navigation System Owners Manual), but if the light panel control is set fully to the right it stays only in Day Mode.
Also, you can change map colors for both day and night mode using the Setup Button (p. 87 of same manual).
This navigation system is fantastic. So much better than BMW or Mercedes. And if you have ever used the Magellan or Garmin systems you'll never complain about the accuracy of the information on this system.

Yes, of course. I was just trying to make it understandable for those who don't speak Californian...in which by the way the grammatically correct phrasing is "way too cool dude" - pronounced dooooooooood.
