Why can't I see the screen of my Garmin 665 in sunlight. Isn't that what they are for? I have two, both with the same problem.

I sometimes have a problem with that. Sometimes I just wait until I am moving in another direction, or I tilt it a bit and that minimizes it.

You can purchase a good that attaches to the top and sides with Velcro. It will shade the screen and make it much easier to see.

I don't know because I don't have that problem with mine. I've ridden about 15000 miles with it on my bike and that had never been an issue. I'm not using a 'hood' or shade either as I've see some do.

Mines installed in a fairing and i can see it fine 90% of the time unless the suns at my back just right.

I live and ride in Tucson Arizona and can view it without a problem. I just took it out of the box and installed.

This seems odd, as I use mine in broad daylight at 50%. Have you checked the display settings? Go to Tools, then Settings, then Display. Do you have the time set up? Need to ensure you are set for daytime.

I usually don't have too much of an issue seeing my screen. I usually set it to brightest screen mode. You can add a GPS visor from these folks. Pretty cheap but effective. Helps protect screen when out of cradle too. http://www.glarestomper.com

I have replaced the screen because of shudder glass; you have to be careful with connection. You can call Garmin to see if they can trade it (give you some credit buying a new one)

I love the 765T, but recently have had problems when battery is fully charged from my computer and seeing message "low battery" when I try to use it in my car. I have written Garmin support and they should write back within 3 days.

I have the black one. It is pretty easy to see for me,but being that your screen name is biker Bill I'm not sure for your scenario being in direct sun light. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful I can say it's a pretty good watch the barometer is off alittle bit but you can compensate for the error the tempt is way off until you take the watch off Good luck be safe shotot straight

The GPS in my opinion was ok at best, albeit very slow to see the satelites. My primary complaint was that the screen washed out in the sun and you couldn't see it.

Just bought a new 855 and installed the software updates (to version 4.70) before using it. Then, about 1.5 hours into its first trip, the unit froze. I just sent a help request to Garmin, and am anxious to see what they say.

Hi Bennie: I have been using Garmin GPS's for quite a few years and have never had such a problem. Call Garmin Customer Service and they will answer your problem. Good Luck

Sounds like it may be an antenna problem. If it is mounted in side some where you may need an external antenna but I'm no expert. I have asked question on the Garmin site and they have been very helpful.

Go to the Garmin site on the web. Click on the "support" tab. On the lower left of the support page is a section called "support spotlight"Select the question you want answered. Good Luck

I'm having the same problem with my Garmin 260W. I got mine from a seller on eBay and believe she knew she had a faulty device and just sold it that way. Any suggestions other than purchasing a new one, let me know. Thanks!

I have mine in a window sill and it works fine with one exception. During the daylight hours there is a reflection of the camera back into the camera. This is not a fault of the camera, but if anyone else has experienced the same thing and found a solution I would appreciate hearing about it. Because I accidently came upon this site and don't know if I could find it again, please email me at tmf24556@aol.comTom

Zachary,Mine is broken too. I called Garmin and they want me to send the unit in for repair. They want $125. I could just about buy another one for that price. Have you figured out to fix yours? I am still trying to figure out a way to McGiver mine.David Wallace

No, I don't believe the GPS will display on the panels. And I'm thinking they are probably too small and the wrong aspect ratio to be any good for GPS detail anyway.

I am having this problem, as well. I tried to run updates and had it plugged into my computer most of the day yesterday and then last night it just would not turn back on. I have tried the reset on the switch (my 255 does not have a reset button, i ripped of the sticker to be sure) and I just can't get it to turn on. Garmin support has a 30 minute wait time and I can't wait that long at work. Anyone have any other ideas?

This is a problem with all LCD screens in full sun. The only thing that could helps is a visor.
