I made a sun screen for my setup. Put sticky Velcro on the side and back of the RAM mount and then got a sheet of black hobby plastic and cut it to size and used a heat gun to bend the edges.

By my setup I mean I purchased the angled base RAM ball and add arched to one of the wind screen bolts and added a zip tie to prevent it from rotating. Put on a medium RAM arm and a RAM mount for the Garmin Nuvi 57LM.

I water proofed the Nuvi using silicon in the corners of the screen and 3M tape over all the rear and side holes. Dielectric grease in the USB port.

I use open street maps to get world wide and tops maps on it and use basecamp to create routes and generate transparent map overlays on the GPS using free tools.

Works great since I don’t have the means to fab and the GPS was only $79.
