Sun shade for Hema 5 Navigator

i ended up mounting it over the mirror as i have all the gear on the back so dont use it any way, easy to see and always in the shade, just used double sided tape and un-clip it when i park it up .... keeps it cooler also ..
Cheers, Joe

Hema make one that works for me, the only thing that is annoying is that you need to move the sunshade to turn the unit on but overall no problems

Some of the earlier models of the HN5 may be able to be upgraded to the iGo street navigation application.

If your device serial number has a prefix HN5A1209......... then you're out of luck.
Some newer models can have the iGo software installed in place of Route66.

I also have the Hema brad clip-on visor and yes, you need to lift it off to use the power button.

Yes, I bought a shade off Ebay. I think Jaycar have them too. Just get one to suit a 5" GPS.

I extended the shade by putting some very thin alloy sheeting onto it. I just used silicon and got some rubber from Clark Rubber to run along the edge

If you mount the unit as high on the windscreen as possible you will not need a sun shade. I have mine on the passenger side of the rear view mirror in an NP Pajero and it works fine with no sun glare at all. It does not have to be positioned under glass like the "old days" and will work fine directly under the metal vehicle roof. I purchased a sun shade and found them to be cumbersome and would fall off on rough roads. I have wired up a power outlet under the dash and have routed the power wires up the pillars and under the head liner. I also converted the small USB input to a right angle for neatness.

HEMA will install the iGo software onto the Hema 5 for you, but will charge for the service. I have used both and found that the Route 66 software was useless, hard to use and very "un Australian" in regards to updates and maps; iGo is much much better.
