We have found out that a neat velcro attached sun shield called the CompuScreen to take care of the glare and in most cases solves the problem. We have no financial interest in this company, just a very satisfied customer. We have found that their product works very well on the bridge of our boat. It also folds flat on the top of the laptop. sets up in less than a minute, and still fits in our comput's carrying case. LAPTOP COMPUTER SUN SHADE Navigating with computer charting interfaced with a GPS offers many advantages over Chart Plotters in that the screen size is much larger and digital charts can be downloaded at no cost. The biggest disadvantage is the sun glare and lack of color intensity. The CompuShade computer screen hood does a great job of keeping sun glare off the screen which washes out color intensity, brightness and contrast. Below is the web site URL for the CompuShade sun hood recommended for those using computer navigation on their boats. <http://www.compushade.com/viewarticle.php?page=3> This patented sun hood enables you to open and close your laptop while the folded hood remains attached to the back of the lid (see demo video). There is no need to remove the hood from the computer when storing it in most computer cases.
