Not only that the satellite maping on Google is amazing.

You can Google a new area on your cellphone like an island some where and see the bottom contour if the waters clear and study the drop offs and shelfs, you can tell where the good areas are from space it is so clear you zoom it you can tell what type a roof a building has and the color. I new what the continental shelf looked like in Asuncion before I got there.

I hear that. I used to have a optically clear plastic bag that fit over mine for the x-13.

I just carry a sample size spray bottle with distilled water in it and a rag. Cheap and easy.

This is probably the smartest option. Have a friend who swears by Rain-X but I've never tried it.

I thought about that, but then I googled it :-)

Are used to stress over it all the time when I was using my dad’s kayak with the head unit mounted just out of reach on the center console so you would have to lean forward to use it. In direct sunlight, it was almost impossible to read unless you turned so you were casting a shadow.

On my outback, I put the ball mount just within arms reach on the right-hand side in that little recess. The maneuverability of those ball mount clamps are great, and I can usually angle it so there’s no issue. +1 on the distilled water.

I use Windex vinegar and microfiber rags to wipe down on the water

When I get to my truck or home I let a napkin soak up as much salt as I can get with out rubbing lens,paper napkins and salt will scratch lens. When im done with napkin or paper towel I wipe with microfiber cloth .

I just splash mine with a little drinking water and fish. No need to bring the household maid supplies.
