The trick is to be very selective in what color is displayed. Most
moving map data is eye candy only, especially on flatlands.

The nice thing about Seeyou mobile is you can tailor the display to
show just what you want, and make the lines big enough and dark enough
to be seen easily on an iPaq in direct sunlight.

When terrain is desirable (such as in ridge country), again the map can
be setup to only show the ridges that are of interest.

Takes some time at home to tweak, but worth it!
