I'm looking at the Aera 500. How does the 500 screen look in the bright sunlight?

Tried it yesterday(Aera 500)....beautiful sunny sky, I could see the screen quite well, both flying away from and flying towards the sun.

i had thought of using a gizmo , even bought one .ended up taking it back . decided not to chop up the panel so much . mounted a ram ball to a blank 2 1/4 inst hole . used a short arm with it and works good . i used the stub antenna for a while but eventually mounted the external antenna forward of the inst panel and just aft of the firewall , works good thru the fiberglass cowl

Looks good Chuck...I had not seen that done b-4. I'm sure works out great.

That looks very functionable. And easy to change to another GPS without worrying about the cutout. I like it.
