So does anyone use the Screen Protector?

Does anyone here use the screen protector for their navigation screen?? Does it really reduce glare? There's one on ebay that I might purchase if its even worth it, so is it??

I dont think it would reduce glare because most of the problem, at least what I noticed, had to do with the angle the screen was at. It might be worth it though because it would probably protect it from fingerprints.

I use screen protectors on phones/mobile devices, as the screens do tend to take a beating. The protectors do reduce the glare, but they also reduce the clarity of the screen somewhat. Next, unless you’re experienced at putting the things on, then you will have air bubbles. If you have a problem with decals, you'll have a problem with these things. I'm willing to put up with the protectors on phones/mobile devices, as it will be better in the long run; once you get some scratches then it's hard to read the screen. So losing a little clarity on the beginning is worth it. On a NAV though, I don't see the need.

i bought one

I did buy ome of these and although are overpriced. I found that it did reduce the glare. Its pretty good, i used to not be able to read the screen at all sometimes but I can always at least read it.

Definitely not a 100 percent solution but not bad for 15 bucks
