I agree. These little GPS's are enough to drive you into the ditch when mounted on the dash. there is a feature on the E-Trex to make the writing really big. I found this helpful.

The Vista is working great. I could use a more detailed map though. Yet another aftermarket product. I'm amazed at all the information this device can give. Haven't tried it on the water yet. Just road and bicycle trips.
