Those of you using GPS units, how do you get rid of the glare? My Nuvi is hard to view during the day. Added a Glarestopper and it helped, but still is dang hard to see the screen...

I've set my brightness all the way up. In addition I've put a slight downward angle on the screen via the RAM mount but, when a low sun is right over your shoulder it does get pretty washed out. On my old TomTom unit I took a piece of old manila folder and duct taped it on the unit as a sunshield.

 

Ride at night...and avoid the hours between 11 AM-3PM.
Unlike fighter pilots...do not have the sun behind you.
I think we are stuck with glare until the visor mounted
heads-up-display comes out.

I have a ZUMO660 and have never had a problem with the glare. There are a few times during the day when the sun is at just the right angle to hit the screen but even then I can see it. I know that there are some aftermarket "hoods" for most units.
Maybe one of them would help you out.

www.glarestomper.com I bought one works pretty good

 

Keep it in your saddle bag, when you need it pull over and use it, then put it back in your saddle bag then get on your bike and go. I can always control the glare when I'm standing there holding it in my hand.

 

I have a Nuvi 1450 mounted in a Ram Cradle, I see no way the glare shield will attach to the Nuvi with this mount. I wish it would because they do work.

 

Full brightness and angled down slightly. Doesn't eliminate the glare, but I can read it.

On my Road Glide this mount worked great - zero glare - perfect angle - mounts on/above speedo/tack cluster

when I had my nuvi on my mid handlebar it was ALL Glare

 

I have my Nuvi mounted on a ball joint type mount so I can rotate it to different angles as needed. Although not perfect, I can usually find an angle that is viewable. I am going to check into a glare shield that I bought for my Benz when the carwash guys rubbed all the antiglare coating off. This film was incredible and made a completely useless screen better than new. I will post about it once I find the info.
