I have found that non bike sat navs don't like the voltage fluctuations from bike alternators and switch off the screen. I just switch mine on when going into a town on it's own battery and it uses very little of the power like that...I don't leave it switched on all day...

Not found that to be a problem Joe. I only fit the GPS to the bike when on a long trip through unfamiliar territory, but on such trips I leave it on all the time. Maybe your voltage regulator is a bit off.

What I have found to be a problem is vibration affecting the little power plug that goes into the bottom of the unit. It's quite small and not very tight fitting, so it tends to vibrate loose. A bit of gaffer tape secures it and stops it rattling around in its socket and wearing out the contacts.

Glare can be a problem on occasions, especially in direct sunlight, but it's not so much of a hassle to bother doing anything about it.

x2 with Cam,when I first used my car GPS it would turn off,mine is in a gadget called an Aqua Box.I drilled a couple of holes in the box for the cables,I now wedge the power cable up tight.Take care,the internal socket on the GPS got loose and detach at one point.Needed a $120 pull apart and internal fix.
Internal battery life is pathetic on my Tom Tom,5 minutes max.
