Reflection Hood

mow · Posted: Tue May 24, 2005 7:47 am Post subject: Reflection Hood

I notice from a recent visit to an Air Traffic Control center that some of the screens had "reflection hoods" fitted to them to prevent glare.
Would it be feasible to produce a plastic clip over hood for the Tom Tom that would reduce glare from both the top and sides.
Looking at the unit this would seem to be a simple molding exercise and easy to temporally "clip to the unit"
The only problem I could see is would such an addition effect the reception ?
I have tried a card mock up and it seems to work very effectively although it looks awful !!!
What do you think ?

There is some one on this forum that makes such a thing for a PDA and sells them on ebay.perhaps he might have a go at one for the GO Smile

Pretty please. I use my TTG on the motorbike quite a lot and external glare is a big issue that would be reduced significantly by a hood/cowl arrangement.
