Sun shade

[davegs]

On our recent trip to France could not read the screen in bright sunlight so sun shield in order. Seen two on NNs site a TT version and Garmin look the same
but TT bit cheaper what does the panel suggest?, do they work? and if so which is best?.
Any advice appreciated. Can now listen to the WHOOO but can't see f all!.

Yes, thanks for that I put my hand on it like a shade and dident work, had it at full brightness. When going through a tunnel brilliant but in the sun crap. Will hev to experiment with a diy job Nippy's sounds a right load of rubbish!. (if he sees this he might send me a free one!!). Any way many thanks back to the drawing board!.

Hi Dave, have been recommended one of these, cheap enough to give it a try, http://www.gps-shades.co.uk/order-gps-sun-shade_8.html Dave.

Zumo 660 sunshade

have used NN one all summer. Works well in bright Crete sun, 6 months blue sky strong sun average 30c so should be fine for UK.

True it is a bit fiddly to fit with the big 0 rings supplied and one has already succumbed to UV. Not really a strong criticism as anything made of plastic disintegrates in the UV in a matter of weeks (even the plastic stuff that the environmentalists say will last for thousands of years.)

On the whole pleased with it and it works. Without it the screen is unreadable when the sun is beside or behind me, which is often given how the roads and tracks twist and turn.
