This one carries the Garmin brand name however, it's not available on their web site.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/221655675482?lpid=82&chn=ps

This one is from Touratech....  http://www.touratech-usa.com/Store/1735/PN-065-0158/Sunshade-for-Garmin-Zumo-660-665-GPS

I have the 1st one shown here.  Don't waste you money it is useless so I think the same applies to the 2nd one.


I do like the looks of the bigger one, I need to get one and try it.

I have used the Garmin GPS286C for years, it was designed for Marine use but supported all the street maps also.  It had an incredible screen that required no sun shade at all.  It is over 10 years old at this point and is in my opinion the best GPS Garmin ever made.  The problem is the new maps will no longer work with it since they went to the new methods of licensing maps.

I used a 660 on last two bikes, about 60K between them and never saw a need for a visor, only time I ever saw a problem was when sun was behind you and what good does a ugly visor do with sun behind you? I did keep it turned to 100% brightness on screen, but I don't remember a time when I could not see it and mostly just listen anyway. IMHO

After reading this thread... I thought about getting one for when I use the Garmin in my truck.  At night, the reflection of the screen (even with the backlight turned down to zero) shines just enough on the inside of the windshield to be a minor distraction.  That little 1/2" of overlap above the screen may be all it takes to remedy this reflection.

Steve and another guy at Fullsac asked me about the visor on my GPS.  I had a group of guys around my bike at the dealership today asking about it.

Here's the sun visor that I'm using.....pricey but it does the job better than the other two I've tried   http://www.priushood.com/gazu660665su.html

Thats the one I have and it works pretty good.  Just avoid wearing light colored shirts no matter what you do.

Yeah, the reflection from them washes the screen out for sure!
