How is MapPoint on a 7"?

Can someone with a 7" LCD comment on how Map Point looks?
How about a 8"?

Screen will be about 3 feet away from my eyes (down by my knee).

Thanks

Small and small

If you are routing a direction using AGPS...the directions cover up most of the screen, if you close it...routing stops (so it has to be on).

The text is readable, but the amount of "map you see" is really small on a 7 or 8 inch lcd.

MapPoint integrated into VOICES is OK. It's pretty readable, and the VOICES interface helps make buttons bigger, etc.

I'm thinking of waiting a bit longer and getting a 10.4" touchy... I guess I should.... I usually don't plot a route, but just have an idea of the destination and use mappoint to get close... plus it's usually on a passenger (read as navigator's) lap.
