Zumo XT ordered - what sunshade do you use for it?

[Cirhere]

hi
It says its 5.5 inches I can't find a sunshade to fit what do you people use if any

Just did a quick Google search.

Here is one of the things that came up. https://www.ebay.com/itm/384827550272

Also saw a couple of them for sale on Amazon.com - not sure about correct sizing but they say they're for the Garmin XT

I just ordered my XT and I think I will get it delivered today. I am most likely going to get a shade also. Let us know how you like the one you end up with.



Hope that helps
John

I found two versions. One that actually clips to the Zumo the other had elastic straps that held it to the unit.

I have had the XT for a year and I have not needed the sun visor, although the height of the driver and the
position of the screen must also be taken into account.

Note that the quality and brightness of the screen has taken an exponential leap since the Zumo 660 and
if you mount a sunshade, it will be on the side when using the XT's portrait display.

I would mount the gps and see first if I need the sun visor or not but of course it's just my opinion.

Some years ago, I had a Glare Stomper for my Garmin Zumo, and was very happy with it.

With the XT you really don't need a sunshade.

I have been using the XT on both my F3-L and RT for a few years and have never found the need for a sunshade even under bright sun in the middle of summer. However, I HAD to have one on my 595. Give it a try for a while before you source a shade.

I too have a Zumo XT, I have no need for a sun screen. It works very well.

I agree with all who say it's not needed. We have one on each of our RT's and never needed a sun shade.

Even though our Zumo 660 might benefit from a sunshade type thing, I found that simply tilting the unit eliminated issues. Ours has the Can Am accessories Garmin mount, that easily allows changing the tilt of the GPS for best viewing.
