Thread: Many new discontinued "On the road" devices

'Horses for courses' my friend. Both Nuvi 255W & Nuvi 50 have the same display specs, as does Nuvi 40:
Display resolution, WxH: 480 x 272 pixels
Display type: WQVGA color TFT with white backlight

I'm looking at a US hw 255W running SG/MY fw, a US 40>42 and a US 50 vanilla side by side all set on 100% brightness, running the same CNNT AU 2013.40 Navteq at the default Garmin AU location 6 Glade St Gladesville, NSW 2111. The two 4.3" devices appear to have similar resolution (as they should), but the 5" 50 appears a tad fuzzier than the other 2 (as it should).

Simply screen size 4.3" compared with 5", but maybe different maps could vary appearance too?

Do you follow to formula below when you did test?

The correct distance for viewing is 2.5 times the size of the screen.

And why did garmin did this? It is marketing! Why Toyota sell others and me LC200 what is like toys but only for Neil in Australia is produced LC70 for a real man in strict secrecy?
