Screen lock function is working on our device. Perhaps a master reset is in order (ugh).

I just tried again, screen lock does not work for me, even with backlight on. I will try later a master reset, as I need the device the next weeks for usage and have currently no time to restore all settings.

Okay, I did now a master reset and it works again. But with disabled backlight, locking still does not work.

Garmin replied and they said, they don't see a bug here, as it works by design.
