GPS unit I can see the screen in sunlight.

[sulaco]

Im really needing a GPS unit,.But having a hard time figuring out which is the best way to go,
I just want to be able to see the darn thing in the sun light,My Samsung Galaxy is useless in the outdoors,....Should I go LCD screen and anti-reflective screen cover?
What works good for you guys?
Thanks.

:shocked: Nothing works under all lighting conditions... :banghead:
I have an RBNS hood over my Zumo 660, and it works pretty darn well... :2thumbs:

Do you use any kind of anti-glare film on the screen,or do you not need any because of the hood?

I've never tried anything other than the sunshade; my GPS clearly announces the turns over the radio speakers. :thumbup:


But it couldn't hurt to give it a try!

mount

Thanks for the links,.....What do you use for mount? And any good ideas where to mount it on a 2012 RSS?
Id like to get a Bluetooth unit for my helmet but I dont think i would hear anything with this 2 Brothers exhaust system.
Would also like to be able to throw it on my Suzuki SV650.

Check the LaMonster Garage: I think that he's got all sorts of ways to mount a GPS unit...
(He's right on the Home Page...)

I got a glare shield through Garmin, when I put it on the touch screen no longer worked.

I use a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8" tablet for a GPS. I have an anti-glare screen and can see it reasonably well under bright daylight. I also put a phone anti-glare screen on the center part of the cluster because of the extreme reflection of light off of it. Works wonders!
