NOT AS ADVERTISED

Cons: not as pictured.won't stay on gps unit.

The visor I received was not as pictured. I purchased a visor previously for my old 3.5" GPS that was by i-Cap like the one pictured. The one I received has flat steel brackets instead of the wire brackets on the i-Cap visor.This one does not fit on my 4.3" TomTom as well as the i-Cap does on my 3.5" with the wire brackets. Poor quality.This is not made by i-Cap.

WORSE COVER

Pros: very light weight
Cons: does attach to gps when the gps is on mount

This visor only works when the gps is not attached in its mount cradle however, once the gps is attached on the mount, the visor cannot be fitted properly because of poor design--the construction of the mount does not allow the visor to attach securely and thus it is ineffective. It should stop being sold since it is useless.

GPS VISOR

Pros: good idea, but need some refinement for the 660
Cons: poor fit. doesn't stap put very well

Unit does not fit correctly when used with the motorcycle mount. It does fit, but poorly due to it being racked from the poor fit of the clamps on the back.

Recommend? NO

NOT WHAT WAS DESCRIBED, CHEAP AND FLIMSY

Cons: cheaply made.

Decription said it had metal arms with plastic coating to attach to GPS, my unit is flimsy plastic arms. Did not seem durable, used once and now it just sits in a closet. Not worth the money.

I-CAP 4.3 IN VISOR

Pros: nice idea
Cons: bad fit for zumo 550

The fit was bad, and on first time out, it went flying off when I hit a bump at 90km on a twisty ... needs velcro tape option included to make it secure. Wish I had done that ...

Recommend? NO

DOES NOT FIT ZUMO 660

Pros: ???
Cons: not for the zumo 660

Unit does not fit my Zumo 660. In fact the sides began to actually etch the glass display! It is slightly too narrow for the display on the 660 and the real problem is interference with the mount. The Clips of the visor hit the mount and won't allow the visor to sit properly on the 660. Even then, it is too narrow for the 660.

GREAT IDEA BUT DOESN'T PLAY NICE WITH RAM MOUNT

A great idea to keep the reflection off the windshield, problem is, the structure of the ram cradle and the lower end of the spring clips both want to occupy the same space. If you bend the clips slightly to clear the cradle, the visor does not sit straight on the nuvi. I can only assume it would work great with the factory Garmin mount.

HMMMM.........

Cons: didn't work at all

Purchased the visor for use on my Nuvi265WT when it is mounted in the Ram Mount Cradle, unfortunately the tension/support arms of the visor don't work with the Ram Mount cradle.

GOOD COVER

Pros: stays on ok
Cons: little flimsy

The visor I received is not the same design as shown. I find the arms that hold the visor on are a little flimsy and you have to be careful putting the visor on. Once on it works fine and stays on ok.

VISORS

we ordered two visors, one arrived broken we put some glue to repare it. as we saw on the picture, the little brooches seems to be metal support so it should be stronger but it it is plastic support so it is very very fragile. we paid $10.00 for each brooch and $10.00 for shipping. we find this is a little too expensive. have a nice day.

COVER NOT FULLY COMPATIBLE: GARMIN 780 GPS

Pros: works as intended if not using other accesssories.
Cons: would not mate properly with quick-release mount.

The cover does not fit with my Quick-Release RAM mount. It works fine if the unit is not attached to the quick-release. Since I wanted to use it for a trip I was taking a day after the cover arrived, I forced it to fit. However, with the quick-release in place the cover extended lower on the screen and you were not able to see the top part of the screen. In this configuration it was also not very stable. I like to remove my unit from the window when I arrive at a highway rest area. However, with the cover in place, it was an awkward procedure.

THE GPS CITY I-CAP 4.3IN VISOR

Pros: inexpensive easy to install.
Cons: none

This is one of the best GPS accessories I have purchased. If the GPS is on the dash and the sun is streaming in on it, it is hard to read. This simple device solves the problem. I would not leave home without it.

Prevents sun glare on my GPS unit like a champ. The only problem I have is that I did need to cut a small notch to make it work with a RAM MOUNT CRADLE due to the cradle's construction.
