RhythmDoctor will become famous soon enough
Does a Nuvi 500 series device with add-on BlueChart provide better (bigger) screen display? Or is that just cost prohibitive compared to the Oregon 400c at $299? Is the Nuvi actually bigger than Oregon? Higher resolution? Better color depth? Quicker fixing? Would Navimatics or other 3rd party charts make this a more cost effective option?

I'm very naive about this stuff. Only GPS I've ever used is my Blackberry with Garmin app (that works a lot like a Nuvi, but much smaller).
