The screen is plenty big enough. If it was any bigger it wouldnt fit
properly on the yoke.


They could probably make the screen taller, so that it's more square,
and that would at least be some improvement. A portrait (vertical)
orientation is better, but the last thing I want is a monstrosity on the
yoke (Lowrance 2000c, TabletPC, even the old GPSMAP 195.)
