I have a Twin Troller open boat that I want to use my 12.9" 3rd generation iPad Pro on while I'm fishing. I can use my iPhone but it's a lot smaller than the iPad and my old eyes ain't what they used to be so that's a problem. I've been looking online but I trust this site more for getting the real scoop on these things. Any help is appreciated.

the question is anyone know of one that really reduces the glare. Or, I'm not wasting the money on it!

What in the world do you need an iPad on a boat for ? Checking your email ? Not real sure iPads are even close to being "water-resistant"... gonna need a good cover and secure mounting bracket, I would think.
Real curious as to your desire to be "online" (or whatever you plan to use it for) while FISHIN'.... kinda my reason to go, ......to get AWAY from tech and people !

There are very good navigational maps online which will be very beneficial in fishing the lakes I fish. As I mentioned, it's much easier to see the larger screen. Seems from everything I see on this platform and various videos recommended on this site, fishing includes lots of different "tools" to catch fish, this is simply a different tool that will help me if I get the screen that doesn't glare so much you can't read it. Thanks for imparting the knowledge about the waterproof aspect and that I'll need a secure mount as opposed to just laying it down on the gunwale or in the bottom of the boat, kinda like saying you need a hook on the end of the line if you want to catch a fish.

Frenchie just get a decent fishfinder with Navigation. You can upgrade the internal charts with a Navionics chip.

The Graph Glass anti-glare screen saver is pretty good at reducing glare, although if the sun is just right, you will still get some. The best thing about it is that it is so easy to clean your screen. Usually, just a simple swipe with a soft cloth will do it. If not, a little water and you're good.
