This is silly.

Even the bigger cycling units aren't as big as what you use.
And the screen size is bigger and has more pixels.
GMap 64: 160 x 240 pixels. 2.6'' diagonal.
1040: 282 x 470 pixels. 3.5'' diagonal.
840: 246 x 322 pixels. 2.6'; diagonal. (The overall size of this unit is about half of the GMap 64,)
I'm surprised you didn't trot this picture out yet again.
(What you are doing is fine. But there are things that the fairly-popular cycling units provide that are useful to other people.)
