For regular city maps, I quite agree that a b/w screen is fine. It's much nicer, though, with a slight bit of colour.

For hiking maps, a colour screen makes a world of difference. The last time I went hiking in Japan, I was using my Nova Pro. There were times when it was really challenging to see the various trails as they were sometimes difficult to distinguish from contour lines or rivers.

I will be very interested to see how the A5 Pro CC performs the next time I go hiking. I'll be taking screenshots on another device and loading them onto my A5 Pro CC so that I can compare it to the Nova 3 Color.

I find the slight bit of colour really useful. However, it does make for a significantly darker screen which means that you need to use the light a lot more unless you're outside on a sunny day or beneath a bright light source.
