I had a Garmin NUVI 1490 LMT GPS on my 650 for about two years. It worked fine and was very happy with it. The screen gradually started to fade out in bright daylight. I thought I would upgrade to a Garmin newer model. Garmin allowed me a $100 trade-in. I picked a new model 2597. What a disappoint.
The new model with many new features set at maximum brightness is so faded out that it can not be used in broad daylight. If you stare at it for about 5 seconds it will give you data. But by then you could crash.
I told them my friends who ride with me don't have that problem. I'm at a loss to know what to do. I might try to find an out of production rebuilt Zumo motorcycle GPS. Hopefully the Zumo GPS are brighter.
