Default GPS Sun visor?

For those of you with GPS on your bikes. What are your doing or using to block the sun from glaring out the screen? At one point this weekend the sun was pretty bright I could hardly see my screen.
&nbsp\\;
Thanks,

I've got a Garmin Quest II and have never had the sun bright out my screen. I don't have a visor or anything.

Just curious, which gps do you own. I just got the nuvi 200 and haven't had a problem yet. I know that radio shack sells a film or plastic thing that sticks onto the screen. It says it protects the screen and reduces glare. You may want to check out www.gpscity.com. They have a lot of gps accessories and may have a visor. I've bought my ram-mount stuff there and they have good prices. I've had good luck with that store.

Hope these help

I bought one of those visor things for my Zumo.&nbsp\\; Worked pretty good but I misplaced it.&nbsp\\; Now I'm just used to some glare, not too bad.

I have Street Pilot 2730 and I got a visor from Cycle Gadgets http://www.cyclegadgets.com/&nbsp\\; Good folks to deal with.&nbsp\\; It really helps a lot in using the GPS in bright sunlight.&nbsp\\;
