I agree totally, this is a new problem for me and it's already driving me insane, the headset is no use i'm affaid as I don't have satnav it's just line of site and compass readings, I can see the compass (sort of) but when I stop to add the next town/city or read what's on the screen on the move I can't.
It's something I need to get my head around obviously but no less frustrating.
I'm pretty fit in my mid 40's, cycle 150 miles a week (London to Brighton last week), eat well and look after myself but the eyes I have to live with it seems!
Cheers for the replies
Pete

3. I don't use a visor so that won't work either.
Even if I could see the GPS screen properly withour assistance it becomes irrelevant in bright sunlit conditons as the screen completely washes out. The only real answer for me is to use a GPS with an headset jack and plug in my helmet mounted speakers to hear the spoken instructions - either that or stop regularly and pull out the reading glasses to see where you are / how far to the next turn, etc..
