That's another issue with the automotive units... though the MC units are not immune.

What helps is if you move the mount to the clutch perch... you can get a bracket that is secured by the left mirror stem with a RAM ball on it. Moving the GPS up puts less of an angle on the screen, which reduces glare a LOT, plus it's safer to operate because your eyes naturally scan the screen when you check your left mirror.

If you miss a turn, you aren't checking your mirrors enough
