I’ve got a cheap TomTom Satnav that I’ve powered from the BM satnav switched socket. It’s mounted in a waterproof holder on the Adventure screen bar.

It works really well, and I’m very pleased with the setup, only one thing lets it down.......the screen brightness in bright sunshine. I was wondering if anybody knows of an anti-reflective screen that cuts down the glare from the sun, that actually works.

I know it will never be as bright as a Garmins screen that’s designed for bikes, but was hoping for a slight improvement.

Cheers

You can get polarisers for computer screens and cameras - I guess you could cut one down? They're not cheap though.

Thanks for that, but I'm making a custom cover like that at work out of thin guage aluminium at the moment, so that's not what I'm after. I was hoping there was a product available that you stick on the screen that works ?? Then it would be a belt and braces approach to it.

:D at least your making it from thin gauge ally, its usually a Blue Peter engineered version made from cardboard, I hear about.
 
The information on this site is priceless............for everything else you will need a credit card !!

If you pop into a printers and ask them if they use anti-reflective lexan that will do the job. I used to work as a printer years ago and made stickers for aircrafts out of it. I used some on a old PDA that had tomtom on, it works a treat.
