Re: InvisibleSHIELD for Nav screen
Not sure this has been mentioned recently but I just use the BACK (flat part) of my fingernail to make touch screen selections.
No smudges, no fingerprints, no cost, no hassle.

As a long time Palm/Treo user (and a non-NAV owner) I wonder if having a stylus in the car could serve a similar purpose (with possibly more precise selection).

Re: InvisibleSHIELD for Nav screen
I'm not sure I'd want to fumble for a stylus in the car. The touch screen of the NAV unit is quite big enough to make selections with even the fattest of fingers, so that's really not an issue. Personally, I just wipe mine down once a week when I clean the car interior. That seems to keep the smudges under control.

Re: InvisibleSHIELD for Nav screen
A stylus might increase the chances of doing damage. Scratches, holes, so on... But yeah, the buttons are big enough for a finger.

Possibly but the downsides are:
Something to misplace/loose.
Besides what Nav functions really require the precision of a stylus?

Re: InvisibleSHIELD for Nav screen
Don't know, don't use the NAV, but on my Treo, I know the the back of the nail (my preferred stylus) sometimes touches the wrong thing.

Re: InvisibleSHIELD for Nav screen
I agree the fingernail method on a Treo (I'm on my 3rd) is problematic but the touch zones and screen on the NAV are MUCH larger making a stylus unnecessary.

Re: InvisibleSHIELD for Nav screen
I installed the 2007 Camry InvisibleSHIELD today in my 2009. A little tricky to get installed. It is a little longer then the display itself.
It is NOT Anti-Glare. In fact, it is a little shinny. I will see how it goes while driving the next few days.

Re: InvisibleSHIELD for Nav screen
Did you try Haroldo's trick with the tape? If so how did it work?
If not how did you do it?

Re: InvisibleSHIELD for Nav screen
The tape trick probably would not work well with InvisibleSHIELD. It is a very soft skin with a sticky back. You also have a lubricant spray you have to apply to the product.
I was very careful tried to line it up with minimal bubbles. I then used the squeegee to remove extra bubbles.
