GPS in bright sunlight

[Royal]

I have two GPS’es. An older Garmin and a 3 YO Tom Tom.
Neither has a display that is bright enough for me to read on a top down sunny day ride. If any of you has one that might work, I’d appreciate the info.
…and NO, I do not have a smart phone – it’s dumber than a rock.
Thanks!

Justt keep driving.

You’ll find out where you are when you get there! 😎

 

Which is another way of saying I have no idea.

Roy,

I made one for my last couple of trips out of thin cardboard and black electrical tape that looked very much like the pictures Kent posted. Did not know you could buy – or maybe I am cheap.

How about mounting under the dash? Should be well shaded, and gps signals go through fiberglass, no?

I haven’t used a GPS in a long time, but I do have some of those commercial shades such as those in the Amazon link. They work well enough, unless the sun is at your back and directly on the screen. I partially solved the problem in my Honda S2000 but using a mounting bracket near the top of the transmission tunnel.

I mounted mine on the tunnel ahead of the gear shift worked fine .

I made mine out of a cardboard cereal box, and painted it black. I did not know of the pre made ones
