Are you talking about your gps screen not working or glare causing you not to see ?

He is probably talking glare. I have the same problem. In bright light situations, the screen is washed out and hard to see. Not really glare per se. If the sun is behind me and shining on the screen, I can't see anything at all. It's just a crappy screen and doesn't have a resolution.

not sure if there is anything you can do about that.. Perhaps you can find some anti-glare film to put over the top of the screen.

I've thought of that myself. Even considered a cellphone protective screen, but have yet to

Need to change poloroid prescription

It seems that the orientation of my poloroid sunglasses is causing the screen to appear blank. If I tilt my head, I can read the screen. Since my sunglasses are prescription, this is an expensive fix. Thanks to those that responded to my question.
