Default GPS Shade Cover

Just curious if anyone uses a cover of sorts over their GPS. When I'm out and about when direct sunlight hits the GPS, it's a tad tough to read. Granted I can hear the turns with spoken voice etc., but I'd still like to see the screen.

I use one. It really helps on sunny days. It is nylon and attached by velcro around the body of my ZUMO 550. Not great looking, but it works!

Waiting for some cash flow to pick up a 660 which should not need one...

I got it on Ebay. Called the "Sun Stopper". There are a few of them out there. The Sun Stopper is used for all sorts of GPS units (not just Garmin).

I think that is the same one I have. I bought it direct. I found it through the zumoforums.
