Cleaning the navigation screen

What is the best product to use to clean the navigation screen? Also what should I use to wipe it down? I don't want to damage the screen. After 2 1/2 weeks of use finger prints are starting to show. Thanks.

I use a 3M LCD cloth available at most computer/office stores to clean all of my LCDs, including the nav screen. If there are a lot of fingerprints, I will dampen a corner with water, but I don't use any special cleaners, etc. After 6 months, my screen is still good as new (no scratches, marks, etc.).

I use a small microfiber cloth. Don't need any products, cloth alone works fine. I would be careful using a spray. wouldnt want it leaking into the edges.

I'm thinking about using my Oakleys cloth to clean the nav.

can you use one of those palm pilot type protection screens to protect the screen from scratches?

They exist or you can cut one to size.

I exhale on the screen to fog it up and then use a nice microfiber eyeglass cloth (like the Oakley, but this one came from the doctor for free...: )

I have meant to get the protector but keep forgetting.
