GPS navigation units started with 3.5-inch screens, grew to 4.1-, 4.5-, and 5-inches, and show no signs of stopping. Magellan has just announced the RoadMate 1700, with a 7-inch display.
Now, a 7-inch display isn't for everyone. It's huge. Put it in a SmartCar and you won't be able to see the road. But in an RV or a commercial truck it's great. It's also a boon for people with vision problems that make it hard to read small type. The RoadMate 1700 doesn't put more information on the screen, it just makes the existing information bigger.
Besides standard navigation for all 50 states, Canada, and Puerto Rico, you'll get AAA TourBook information, Magellan's OneTouch interface, and lane assistance. The RoadMate 1700 is on sale now for $299.
