Who is happy with their gps?

[max]

In search of more adventures i am thinking of acquiring a gps of some sort.
But from what i can see ( or rather not see ) the screens are difficult to read in direct sunlight, i had a sony video camera that had a transflective screen that had no problem in direct sunlight, the colors were a bit different but the screen was perfectly usable, and so far i have not seen any video's that show a clear enough screen with good contrast that would be good to use.

The visibility was not very good with my current gps when used in direct sunlight either but that is a 10 year old machine and works ok in the car, it worked in the shade but it would be nice if technology had improved to the point that it was sufficient in sunlight.

Most video's show a washed out screen and some appear to have a video overlay that appears to show a photoshopped screen for a very short time in the hope that nobody notices the trick before buying one.

And of course i know that paper maps need no batteries and are very readable in a sunny day, the thing is taking the map out and putting on reading glasses on a lot of intersections is not a very practical approach or much fun if you don't have a tank bag and safety becomes questionable as well.

So after all that i wonder; are there any success stories out there that are worth considering?
