Garmin 250C Screen

#1 Post by SeanP »

The unit is good but the coating on the screen is rubbish! 1 season and it's scratched all over and i've been carefull with it, would not mind but the Lowrance plotter came with a nice mirofibre cloth which i used on both, not a mark on the Lowrance of course!
Just thought i would let you know about the screen protectors that are available, should have had one from new i guess, but even adding it at this stage has made all the difference, no loss in visibility on the screen and can hardly see the scratches now.
Came form the states in about 3 days!
Available for most fishfinders and gps

Must be a very soft screen to scratch up like that.

Good tip.

I've had the exact same problem with my 250. Must get one of those protectors for the coming season.
