Make sure the brightness setting is all the way up.
Adjust it as needed to avoid the sun hitting it.

Maybe get a screen protector for it? If you can't find one made for it maybe a universal trim to fit one.....

I'd like to see a picture of the setup. But you could probably mock up a sun shroud to help. Play with the angle and change the contrast to help. In all reality, sun glare is going to happen on a GPS when used on a motorcycle. Even the motorcycle-specific ones are not immune.

Ditch the polarised sunglasses.
