sarges46 Posted March 3, 2008 #2 Posted March 3, 2008 Dont know what you've got for a gps but here is a link from ebay that might be what you need. http://cgi.ebay.ca/GPS-Sat-Navigation-Accessories-navGEAR-sun-visor_W0QQitemZ290210094389QQihZ019QQcategoryZ34288QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Guest ReinyRooster Posted March 3, 2008 #3 Posted March 3, 2008 I'm thinking a few inches of two-sided tape and a piece of cardboard would do the same thing, for about 12 cents.

86er Posted March 5, 2008 #7 Posted March 5, 2008 I'm thinking a few inches of two-sided tape and a piece of cardboard would do the same thing, for about 12 cents. I'm thinking that the cardboard wouldn't hold up too well in the rain. I think that a piece of plastic from a coffee can lid or the likes would hold up better, and be a little stiffer in the wind. It might be a little more expensive though. Maybe cost 14 cents.
Twenty7Delta Posted March 5, 2008 #8 Posted March 5, 2008 my mother in law made a shield out of leather for mine! It just wraps around the edge of the screen as a shade.
Guest ReinyRooster Posted March 5, 2008 #9 Posted March 5, 2008 Todd, I agree totally. Am in the process of trying to find the right plastic material that is light enough to bend to the shape I want. We have a surplus store nearby that has all kinds of odds and ends....should find somethere there to work.
Guest mmmouse Posted March 5, 2008 #10 Posted March 5, 2008 Iway 600c....don't need no freakn' shield. (I'm just say'n)
Rick Butler Posted March 6, 2008 #11 Posted March 6, 2008 James, Checkout http://www.glarestomper.com/ I use one on my Quest II and it works well. It Velcros on around the top and sides, but just to make sure it stays, I also take a length of double sided Velcro tie wrap and run it across the bottom tieing it all together. Rick
Condor Posted March 6, 2008 #12 Posted March 6, 2008 For the Whisler GPS I just made one out of that cardboard backing they use on memo pads. Cut it to size and sprayed it with black Plasti-Dip. Attached it with velcro. I'd take a pic.... but I can't find it... It's around here somewhere..just saw it a couple of days ago....???
