Dave: Like you I have the eyesight 'challenge' that comes with 'maturity', heh heh... and I see that you have a Garmin 60 which I am sure is a nice unit. I chose a Silva GPS some years ago because of the large alpha and numerical display. I thought this feature was a real plus. The Silva was designed to be read in adverse conditions; ie, the data display was easily the largest I had seen on a handheld GPS. Perhaps some of the newer Garmins, Magellans etc have a similar large display now; but at the time, there was no comparison. Some of those smaller Garmins seem to be made only for ideal conditions in ideal light,and for those with ideal close-up eyesight.
