I found the same problem, but it was just as bad with the unit out of the waterproof case. The screen brightness of a car type unit just isn't enough for use out of the shade of the car interior. I found angling the unit back so that the screen was facing my chest/stomach gave the best results. Worst place of all was in a tank bag facing the sky. A decent mount should give you enough options for a readable screen.
