A little small for my old eyes if you split the screen but still a fine unit.
I had the chance to try one....and i agree its a nice concept, but the screen is too small for me...and the battery didnt last.
In fairness i believe a knowledgable user could extend battery life.
I will stay with a marcum on the ice with a lowrance gps in my breast pocket for now.
