Is bigger better maybe but my 798 works just fine for me. Agree. I run the same unit and I have no problems. If I'm using the gps while running I use the whole screen, but use split screens when I'm not and have no problems. Would the 10" be better? I'm sure, but the 5" works just fine.

If you have the extra cash burning a hole in your pocket go for the larger screen but the 798 works fine for me. Stress less, relax more. Go fishing.
