#1 gripe is that the screen size is barely adequate for reading the map information.

The information available on the GPS is fine, it's just the map size/resolution that I'm finding problematic without reading glasses.
At some industrial safety stores they have wrap around safety glasses that work great for cycling that have reader inserts in the lower bi-focal area that help reading your GPS or computer.
I am not endorsing these, I only list this as an example of ones that the local (local to me) safety store sells. The ones I bought in the past are no longer on their website.
