Garmin 396 glare

[hevansrv7a]

I had the same problem with my 296. The same position that was OK for the 295 was no good for the 296. It's installed in the stack on my right. I installed it with about 15 degrees of tilt towrd me and now it's acceptable. That said, it's in a C-150, not an RV and the glare issue will likely be worse in the RV when I get it flying. I think it will need a ball joint, ultimately.
