Why is it hard to see G1000 with sunglasses? I got checked out in the G1000 172 at my flight school just so I could schedule to fly when the two steam gauge 172s were booked. I'm very impressed by the G1000, but I can't wear sunglasses when I fly the NAVIII. This is with the avionics dial on the lighting panel turned all the way up.

Does anyone else have this problem? Is it my sunglasses?
The screens are LCDs, which have a polarized filter layer over them. That layer is usually placed at a 45° so they are misaligned with your polarized sunglasses which are aligned vertically. You can confirm this is the problem by turning your sunglasses at different angles and see if the screen changes.
