dear screen challenged
we have the MadgeLAN road mate and love it ...
large enough to see at a glance with out glasses
the interface took a little getting used to cause as You say it is a little
"backward"
but once you get used to it and have made a few trips ur addresses are
stored and it runs very well

just a note ..... I especially liked it in Portland ... spent a week there
while working through a break down ...
had a second vehicle with us and used the gps in the second vehicle
loved it on those multi lane freeways with the a - b - c - d exits to
unfamiliar streets that would get you to where you need to be ... m iss one
and it takes. many. miles to get back
regards
