“Review Text Size” option…does it actually do anything?

This is regarding the eTrex Touch 2 but also likely applies to the H1 series…
Under Settings>System>Accessibility>Review Text Size: Normal or Big.
Setting this to Big (default is Normal), I see absolutely no difference in text size anywhere on the unit.

Is this a “dead” option/setting? I’m at the point where my aging eyes could use some help by displaying larger text but I can’t see that this option does anything at all.

Apparently, it’s supposed to make text larger but where exactly, I can’t tell.

How about on the H1? Does it have any functionality there?

Replying to myself…I found out that this setting only (as far as I could find) affects the text on the Settings>System>About page where the software version, unit ID, etc is displayed. Kind of pointless in my opinion…and to have an actual setting for it? Hmmm…thanks for that, Garmin! :roll:

As far as I can tell when set to Big, the text that is shown when you preview a saved item (course, waypoint, activity) is displayed larger. So for example when you review a course, the labels and values for distance, number of points etc are displayed in larger font.
