I have a Garmin Montana 610. I have never been able to see the screen in sunlight. It's useless in the boat...
- Screen visibility in direct sunlight is a top priority
- Ease of use
- Would like to download maps (goggle, etc.) and import into GPS
- Durability
Thanks in Advance,
Danny
Hey Danny I use the old gps 12s. I know they are old, but they are reliable. On mine when you turn it on, you mash enter while loading and the brightness will come up then you can add more or take away. Hope this helps you.

I use to try and use a handheld GPS while fishing but after upgrading to a fish finder with integrated GPS, I discovered how inferior the handheld GPS is compared to integrated GPS fish finders. The direction your boat is moving, especially at low speeds, was the biggest improvement. Not sure how you plan to use the handheld GPS but just consider putting that money to an integrated GPS fish finder, even the cheap ones like the Lowrance Hook series will be better than a handheld GPS.
You might try a anti glare screen cover. Just google for a search for your model and make. Anymore,,since Garmin bought Delorme out,,not many handheld decient gps makers to choose from. My latest handheld is a Garmin 64 csx with a anti glare screen cover mostly for hunting and back packing but in the car..picks up a lot of sun glare in the car for dim lit screen to where I have to change software viewing out of topo viewing sometimes.
