The device is a BMW Navigator 2 which is a 2610 with some BMW adournments. I
wrote earlier in the year about a 'milky' sheen across the middle of the
screen when strong sunlight was shining directly on to the screen especially
when the sun was low. I took advice by taking it indoors and 'drying it
out'. During the summer and on a trip around Europe it worked brilliantly.
No problems at all but the sun did not tend to be low in the sky. On the
last day of my tour from Germany to Rotterdam I travelled through some very
wet weather.
The next morning travelling north west with the sun shining directly onto
the screen from a low angle I noticed that the milky sheen had returned.
I presumed that water had got into the machine and 'drying' it out would
solve the problem. Since then matters have got worse but the problem is only
there when the sun shines directly onto the screen at 90 degrees.
For example yesterday I travelled south early morning with the sun to my
left. The screen was clear and precise. I came back 11am with the sun
shining directly behind me and the milky sheen came about 2inches by 1 inch
in the centre making the display unreadable.
In conclusion, it seems to be something to do with moisture but also only
when the sun shines directly onto the screen - any other time the screen is
clear so it sems it has nothing to do with temperature.
