(More customer reviews)This device seems to work fine on cloudy days when there is no sun shining or potential for any glare; oh, wait, that's what's it's for. The picture for this item is actually not the one you will get. The width across the top is less (less overhang), the mounting tabs are actually thin wires with very little security, the side width is about as depicted, and the thickness of the material is thinner.
The plastic bag received had the shade, the single wire mounting, and something that resembles a stylus for the old touchpad electronic devices; except it has sharp edges and flashing that would cut the screen. I'm not sure what it's for as there was no information in the package. The thin wire fits into a rubber slot on the back of the shade, and then you're ready to carefully align it over the face of the Garmin or whichever. Carefully because the slightest touch or nudge will misalign it since the little wire mounts are useless.
It's simply doesn't have enough projection or tunnel length to aid in daytime viewing, and makes the screen worse, for me, by casting shadows across the screen when the sun is off to the side. This is probably the same issue for any of these shades or shields that don't clearly project for several inches away from the screen.
You would actually do better with some bent cardboard painted black and using Velcro for mounting.
