Sunshades

I'm not sure if we ever stumbled on this one but it certainly sounds interesting - as long as an airflow can be established between casing and inside of the shade. I've used a home made shade but airflow across the GPSr was cut off and thus became as hot to touch as without a shade

I've sent a mail off asking about the apparent lack of airflow. If this works then a Garage and a Green Card would be small enough recompense I thought :grin:

Would look nice in a Jeep or a Landrover It sort of matches the protective seat-covers.
It's really to help with glare not heat, but it might actually cause the unit to get hotter than normal in direct sunlight.
Although Normal is Very hot on a long trip in Summer.

Looks good. Will they be able to handle the new nits that can switch between portrait and landscape modes?
