I hate to be disparaging about fellow shoppers but they seem pretty clueless. First of all, the protector is sandwiched between 2 protective thin plastic shields. The stickers that everyone is complaining about are there to help with peeling the shield off the protector - and they do that very well. I guess these people can't read cause it says right on the sticker to use it to help peel the protective layer off. Sheesh! It comes with a small cleaning cloth to get rid of smudges. I think 4 in the pack is a good deal (especially with free shipping - thanks Amazon). They fit the Navigon 7100 perfectly. I used one for my 7100 and the other for my wife's unit. Then I trimmed down the 2 other pieces to fit our cell phones. Even if we only had one 7100 you will probably need the extra in case you make a mistake applying the first one. The trick is to make sure the screen is clean and free of dust then apply the protector slowly. Next push out any trapped air bubbles by rubbing them with the small cloth. One thing you absolutely cannot do is try to peel off and reposition the protector once it is applied - this will leave permanent smudges on the sticky side of the protector - thus the second one will come in handy. The plastic looks very sturdy and should last for the life of the unit - or until it somehow gets ruined by my wife's fingernail polish.

I downgraded it 1 star for the following 2 reasons. First, it comes with no instructions in the package. The only help is written on those little stickers that apparently nobody reads anyway. Second, the item description says it helps reduce glare. This is absolutely not true. The Navigon touchscreens come from the factory with a nice matte anti-glare finish. The protector is glossy plastic that while it is glarefree - you will definately notice reflections on the screen.

So go ahead and get this product if you want to protect your GPS screen - it will excel at that.

These are a waste of money. The sticker left residue on the plastic and then the plastic did not adhere to the gps screen! Don't buy it

The package has 4 pieces of film for protection but only 2 fit each model advertised. $9.99 for 4 is ridiculous for when only 2 fit, that makes the price outrageous. They are the same as what was applied by the manufacture when shipped.

Unless you are extremely careful and wear protective gloves, pass on this item. Removing the protective front and back covering is not difficult, but one touch of the protective plastic on the adhesive side leaves unremoveable smudges, and placing the protective plastic on the GPS screen leaves bubbles under the plastic that are difficult if not impossible to remove. This is going back for a refund.

I bought this for myself before I took a trip to a new city, had never been there before. It made it so easy to get around, find places to eat,places to shop etc.
Well worth the money, not once did I have to stop and ask directions, also it is very easy to use.

They fit and stick but they were dirty and not as clear as they should be.

It moves around the screen.
It is sticky on both sides so it obsorvs finger prints.
It adds glory on the screen.

In the package you get two protective covers and a cloth to clean the screen. Although they have a pull tab on each side to easily seperate the cover from the backing, it is difficult to pull them apart. The paper pull tab easily tears, and will not come off the protective film easily. I had to use paint thinner to remove the sticky tab part, which got on the back of the film and ruined it. So I tried the second one, took off the tab first and cleaned the face with a much better result. It did not go on the screen smoothly and I had to pull it off and try a few times. When I finally got it to lay acceptably, I smoothed it on, and smoothed out a few bubbles. The next morning when I went to use my GPS, some bubbles had appeared. I tried to smooth them out but ended up pulling up the screen protector again, but the bubbles just kept getting worse. I'm waiting to find another product to try before I pull this one off...the bubbles don't hinder the responsiveness of the touch screen...they just look funny.

They get the job done and the pre cut sizes fit the screen pretty well.

This film protector is super tough. Would buy it for other items..
