Reducing glare on the zumo 550

[colm_c]

Getting some glare on the Zumo, are there any sun shades/peaks that can be positioned at the top of the zumo so I can see the map when the sun is shining?

Just checking you've turned the display lighting up to 100% ???

there's seperate settings for 'on power' and 'on battery' ISTR...

Bloody hell Colm 100 posts keep them coming

As has been mentioned check the contrast in the options menu and see how that works for you

Not sure the contrast goes to 101% - or is that an option in the 4.03 firmware?

Depends where you have it fitted but I fitted a dark Nippy windscreen to "shade" my Garmin with reasonable effect. It's an improvement but it does sweet FA with the sun just over ones shoulder though....

Just checking that the backlight is up to 100% by pressing and holding the page (square) button and you will get a large lightbulb and then press the + to increase.

Probably already done that though.

Where have you got it mounted?
If it's low and angled upwards towards the sky you'll get a lot of glare.. Move it higher and more horizontal should solve the problem.
