Only NuShield Screen Protectors Remove Glare off Marine GPS and Fishfinder Displays
November 2, 2016Saving your GPS or Fish Finder from Sun Damage with a NuShield Screen Protector
May 25, 2016It’s time to go fishing, so get out the rods, the reels, the boat and the fish finder, pack them all up, and get out on the water. And with all of those things in the boat, the last thing on your mind should be eliminating the glare on your fish finder. Most displays wash out in bright sunlight, making it hard to read the screen and see where the fish are located.
What’s the Answer?
The best was to solve this problem is to install a special screen protector film over the display that will make the display visible again and also protect the screen from damage by the constant sunlight. The reduction of the sun’s glare will allow you to point the boat in any direction, and you’ll still be able to read the screen. How many times did you try to cover the display with one hand while steering with the other?
Why Cruise Ship Technology Needs NuShield Now
February 3, 2016If you’ve been working in the cruise ship industry for, say, 10 or 15 years, you’ve almost certainly noticed some changes to cruise ship technology.
Prior to the late 1990s, or perhaps even the early part of the 21st century, for instance, most ship pursers were still keeping the majority of their financial records on actual paper.
A cruise line’s marketing manager spent a good portion of their day working the (land line) phones in those days, long before Facebook or Twitter have even been conceived. A housekeeping administrative assistant carried her marching orders around on a clipboard, not a tablet computer. A shore excursion manager was forced to find a payphone if something went wrong, and a call back to the ship was deemed necessary. Today, they wouldn’t dream of walking onto land without a fully charged smartphone.
If You Use Mobile Apps for Marine Navigation, Read This
June 15, 2015Whether for business or pleasure, it’s vitally important to know where you are when you’re out at sea. Modern navigation systems have made this much easier: You now have GPS data to pinpoint your location, making sure you never get lost while out on the water.
These electronic devices can also help you locate fish and tell you the depth of the water, making marine excursions safer and easier.
Unfortunately, being out on the water exposes you—and your expensive equipment—to the harsh and unforgiving natural elements. Sun, wind, and salty spray from the sea can take a serious toll on your electronics, corroding the LCD screens.
Sun glare can make LCD screens nearly impossible to see, putting you in an incredibly dangerous situation. While polarizing sunglasses can help protect your eyes from the damaging UV rays and reflections, they further impede your ability to see your navigational device’s LCD screen.
But what can be done?
Touch Screen Marine Navigation Equipment with Anti-Reflective Protection
May 28, 2014As the days grow warmer, more people will spend time outside enjoying the sun, sand and water. Boating enthusiasts flock to the nearest body of water as part of their warm weather rituals. Fishing, swimming and other water sports abound.
Electronic Marine Navigation
NuShield DayVue Films for Marine Navigation ScreensBefore jumping into your boat, it might be time to check your marine navigation equipment along with other electronic devices and protect them from the effects of sunglare. On the water sunlight reflects from multiple angles, making the ability to read LCD displays very difficult. The GPS equipment can also be damaged by salt water and sea spray, and prolonged exposure to sunlight.
Poorly Visible Screens without NuShield DayVue FilmsThe NuShield® DayVue™ antireflective screen protector film has been designed to provide a solution to boaters. It eliminates reflections and glare off LCD surfaces such as fish finders, GPS and other equipment and allows boaters to read the displays even when wearing polarized sunglasses. The DayVue film also makes cleaning the screen easy – simply wipe the screen with a soft cloth and you are ready to go.
The DayVue film has a very low tack adhesive rubber backing which holds it on the screen. This allows for easy installation on flat LCD surfaces and easy adjustment if necessary. It usually takes less than 5 minutes to install the film and push out the larger bubbles. Smaller bubbles usually dissipate within 24 hours.
NuShield offers the DayVue film in sizes to fit any LCD display up to 40 inch diagonal and the company currently has sizes for over 500 different GPS displays. This includes manufacturers such as Eagle, Garmin, Humminbird, Lowrance, Navman, Raymarine, and Simrad fishfinders, chartplotters and other GPS devices.
NuShield also makes the Triple A film which helps to eliminate glare on televisions placed inside larger cabins.
