Default GPS Shade Cover
Just curious if anyone uses a cover of sorts over their GPS. When I'm out and about when direct sunlight hits the GPS, it's a tad tough to read. Granted I can hear the turns with spoken voice etc., but I'd still like to see the screen.

I use one. It really helps on sunny days. It is nylon and attached by velcro around the body of my ZUMO 550. Not great looking, but it works!

I got it on Ebay. Called the "Sun Stopper". There are a few of them out there. The Sun Stopper is used for all sorts of GPS units (not just Garmin).

I think that is the same one I have. I bought it direct. I found it through the zumoforums.
