I have had a Glare Stomper on my Zumo 550 for years and while not perfect it looked and worked just fine. So when I got the Zumo 660 with the Spyder I order the Glare Stomper for it.
The 550 hood is nicely shaped at the sides and hugs the 550 quite well, its not too wide, enough to bock the glare but not over the top.
The 660 hood as no shape at the side and the folds that help it hug to the GPS are in the wrong place. The width is to wide as well it makes it hard to see the screen. You could cut an inch to an inch and quarter off and it would still block the glare but make the screen easier to see. It looks like some scrape martial I draped over the GPS. The picture below is not a 660 and looks ok, but on the 660 it does not hold its shape. I gave it one star on amazon
I purchased a RBNS Hood on Sunday and received it today(great fast shipping), it was twice as much as the Glare Stomper at $30, but well worth the extra money.
Its a hard shell hood so it does not fold like the Glare Stomper, but the hood attaches/detaches in seconds with velcro. It looks a hundred times better and looks OEM.
It shades the screen with out making it hard to view and fits perfect. Highly recommended.
Now after giving such a poor review of the Glare Stomper, if anyone who is going to SITA wants a free one just let me know.
Each to their own and you may love it, you will have to get a small strip of velcro to stick on the GPS as I used the same one for the RBNS Hood.
