Please help me
I have Ipaq hx2415 and I mostly use it for geocaching coupled with a bluetooth GPS unit.
My problem is that most of the time I am outdoors I just can't see anything at all on the screen. I had that problem before, but I just moved from Texas to Colorado and things got even worse. The sun is very intense here and unless it's cloudy the pda is pretty much useless.

I really like my current setup and I would have to spend another several hundreds of $ for a real GPS unit.

What can I do to fix this problem ? Are there any kind of special screen protectors that deflect the sunlight ? Any simple solution?

thanks

Pocket PC Techs' WriteSHIELD AG (http://www.pocketpctechs.com/main~unit~_No_Unit-0~area~accessories-WriteSHIELD%99+AG.htm) screen protectors are great for blocking out glare and UV.

The Boxwave Anti-Glare screen protectors work well also. :D
