That's why it's really important to get a unit that allows adjustment of the screen levels - then go out and tweak the settings to get them so they work for you.

I think a lot of people who have trouble with these units are those who fail to take the time to set them up properly.

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
That's essentially where I put mine - it's very easy to read there, yet it's still near the gauges, as well.
