Garmin 1490 As "Walking Around" GPS?

Looking to supplement or replace my 265 with something friendlier
to walking around (actually biking around).

Main function in that mode would be to present a readable map of
the immediate area. Bigger being better.

Was impressed with the 1490's larger screen and much greater
speed.

Is anybody using one for walking/biking? If so, how do you like
it?


Bigger being better, does anybody have something with an even
larger screen that they like (I saw something from Magellan that
looked tb twice the size of the Garmin).
