My experience with the Garmin 7200 is the same and especially because of the
screen size.  But the price is higher and since the larger units are
intended for the large RVs and truckers they have a bunch of 'bells and
whistles' that I'll never use.  Like built in connections for rear view
video cameras.  And one drawback of the 7200 is no built in battery, you
can't take it out of the cradle and carry it with you for navigation on
foot.
