Actually the one I returned as not bright enough was OK as far as accuracy
goes. I am using Chartwork's NautiQ software that has quite large buttons.
Tended to use a cocktail stick (used to stir Gin & Tonic) so put any
inaccuracies down to the gin rather than the screen. It at least saved
getting wet or greasy marks all over the screen.

Here is a place that offers a "Glow-in-the-Dark Patented Finger Stylus"
and also pen cap stylii. I'm using a iPAQ PDA in a tank top map case on
my motorcycle and have a combination ballpoint pen/PDA stylus in the
case (on a short string) for taking notes and working the nav software.

Sort of off this topic but related, I still can't figure out why the
"320x480 Transflective TFT color display" on my Palm Tungsten T3 is
almost unreadable in daylight and completely unusable with direct
sunlight. It has an adjustable backlight, turning that full up does not
change anything, and there do not appear to be any sensors that reduce
the backlight as ambient lighting increases.

I thought a transflective display with backlight was the "hot ticket"
for outdoor use realizing that brightness varies from model to model.
The T3 still has a brilliant, sharp, display in dimmer lighting. My
iPAQ 3765 is not as good in doors but remains readable in direct
sunlight when set to Bright or Superbright.
