How do you remove them? Anyone tried to remove them from a gps screen? I've read that soaking in vinegar will remove them but will vinegar harm the screen?

Juan:

I know that products containing alcohol or ammonia are not recommended for GPS screens (these ingredients don't work on water spots anyway). Vinegar really is dilute acetic acid, and I expect that it will readily dissolve water spots. I don't think vinegar (or vinegar in water) would hurt the screen, but (disclaimer) I don't know for sure.

I have read about two products purported to work without damaging the screen . . .

WaveAway and Flitz Polish (liquid or paste), but I haven't used either of them.

Let me know how it works out.

I have the exact same unit.....exact same problem!

Harmsway..thanks, just ordered some Flitz liquid.... I'll give it a try

I used the stuff that takes the haze off of headlights and it worked good.

+1 for Dawn, I usually wipe it down right when I get home with a little soap then a damp paper towel and dry it with a soft cloth.

Works great on Costa lenses too.

I had that issue a few years ago. I sent the unit back to the manuf. for a refurb. When I got it back I put a nav protector over the screen.

After that; I just change the protective film if it gets messed up. I never wash the boat with the GPS onboard. I always remove the electronics before I spray down the hull and interior.

I clean the protected screens on the (salty) removed units with lens cleaning fluid from the optometrist's office and microfiber cloths (scope cloths)

The Flitz stuff looks like good stuff...can't wait to try it
