hi guys. i didnt realise there was a huge thread on this gps holder
anyway not long ago i brought a garmin 255w as i borrowed a relatives 205 garmin and i was so shoked how good it was and for the price wow
i paid £88 for a garmin with speed cameras uk and eu maps and a widescreen
i was looking at ram mounts for my nexys but i decided to go with one of these givis. i received it today and im so impressed i know there £40 odd but there worth every penny]
my sat nav fits perfect and its nice and secure on the nexus. the only grumble i have is the sun reflection. the angle of the handlebars means i get so much sun reflection its untrue.
is there an easy way to stop this sun glare? i was thinking possibly a light window tint or something any one else got any ideas
regards

I don't think there is a solution. With mine I just adjust the angle that it sits at to reduce the glare as much as possible.

If it's difficult to look at, it's an accident waiting to happen.

i need it in belgium next month It is still good kit and I find the sun only upsets the view very infrequently. Better than having a satnav in your pocket.

I will never hear it over the sound of a Fazer 1000 rubbling behind me (hubby)
