Thanks , Scott.
Yes, I found it difficult to read the GPS in bright sunlight but stole an idea from Hammer who has the same Garmin 255W GPS and RAM mount that I have. Picked up a black plastic 3 X 5 card file box at Staples, cut the lid off and pretty much cut it in half diagonally, trimmed to fit and mounted to the back of the RAM mount. it looks pretty respectable and now the GPS is legible in most situations unless the sun is really low and directly to my back.

Thanks Hammer for the idea. Better get a copyright on it!
