It's too bad, because I really liked the form-factor of the smaller GPS.
I live in a cave.
I have not seen the term "form-factor" used before.
Sorry...I've seen the term in a variety of industries, but I admit it's
probably not yet part of the common vernacular.

It simply means how the
device is packaged, and how that packaging affects the user-interface and
utility of the device.
Basically, I just mean that the smaller GPSs seem "handier". But they don't
perform as well, so I wound up with a larger one anyway.
