handhelds with larger screens? I am currently using a Garmin E-trex
Another option would be a PDA. Gramin offers a PDA with GPS. It has a much larger screen than the E-Trex and gives you more functionality. An added feature with using a PDA is, its a good place to keep your fishing log. And if the fish aren't biting you can always play solitaire!

I just bought a Magellan Explorist 500. Nice unit but still has the smaller screen. The only reason I went with it over a PDA model was durability. If all of my fishing was done in a bass boat I would go with a PDA. But I spend a lot of time in canoes, wading and float tubes so I needed something that wouldn't mind me submerging it in water from time to time.

If you are interested in a PDA GPS unit send me an email and I will get you any information that you need and pricing.
