Looking to update out 2 660 to newer 590 etc. Any one done the upgrade can tell me if the newer models have better screen resolution, as in can you see them in sunlight?
Have struggled with the 660. Tried various sun shades, moving the angle, firmware updates etc even sent one back and got a "new" exchange unit but almost impossible to clearly see the screen in anything other than dull/overcast conditions. Looked at the TomTom rider and screen is in another league but prefer the garmin maps and routing even basecamp (wash my mouth with soap:blast) Looked at them in store and look the same as my 660 in store light.
Big outlay for 2 so after some real time experience.
Thanks.
 
I moved from a 660 to a 590, and the first trip was up to the lakes for a few days, it was stiflingly hot with lots of sunshine, and it struck me just how easy it was to read the screen even when the sun was on my back....:thumb
