Large screen Fonts Please

I keep seeing various threads in regards to owners of the Edge 520 requesting the ability to increase the screen font size, what a great idea that would be! With the Edge 500, using 2 lines of data the font size was automatically larger, what a shame it wasn't on the 510 or 520. I have 2 x 520's - the reason i have 2 is one broke at the beginning of a vacation and I couldn't be without so I had to invest in a second unit. Both are setup identically but the newer one now has the time of day in a smaller font than the other lines, which is weird. Whatever I do I can't make both units read the same. What a shame the size wasn't bigger! Come on Garmin, could we please go back to how the screen worked on the 500 where at least you had the option to have bigger font sizes, albeit at the expense of lines of data but I suggest a lot of us would be more than happy with that!
  • Was there ever a solution to this.

    I have 2 screens with 2 items on each but the fonts are tiny.
    Its the same size font as if there were 8 or 10 items on the screen.

    Even a €20 Cat eye can do this...
    Come on Garmin ....
