Default Oudie vs Streak sunlight readability

YMMV but those sorts of covers tend not to work great on the
transflective displays used typical consume PDAs/PNAs (e.g ones
without very bright backlights) which still need the gathered light to
work. I've tried similar hoods on several iPAQ PDAs and PNAs and gave
up.

I ordered one of these:

to put on my Oudie and test the next time I fly. Don't know if it will
work or not, but it was relatively cheap (at least compared to most
stuff construed as "aviation-related"!), easy to install, and will be
easy to take off if it doesn't.

AND...it will work on the Garmin I have in the car if all else fails.

If the link doesn't work, just search for "Glare Stomper" on Amazon.
