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  |
My Magellan is on a Ram mount, placed on the left side of the handlebars. With the Ram pointed up and back towards the windshield, and the gps angled slightly forward, up high, almost to the top of my windshield, I find the screen very easy and clear to read at high noon, with little to no glare. Placing the gps like that, allows me to take quick glances at the gps screen, without taking my eyes off of the road too much. I can actually hear the voice commands if it's not too windy of a day. (no ear plug capabilities on my model) I'm going for a good ride tomorrow, so hopefully, I'll be able to test the new gps a bit more.
