I generally leave mine in day mode also. The AUTO mode shifts from day to night colors at the official time of sunset, not at the end of nautical twilight, and it is still pretty bright then and night mode is hard to see.
One controls the intensity of the display with a quick touch of the On/Off/Light button. That pops up a display with a sliding scale for the intensity of the light, which you adjust with the +/- buttons, then press SELECT. I’ve done it so many times I can do it in the dark… literally.

The Garmin GPSMap 500/700 series can be set to Day/Night/Auto. Settings > System > Display > Color Mode will give you the option. I leave mine in "Day Colors" mode and manually switch it as desired.
