Default GPS or Tablet for navigating?

Thinking of getting a new GPS, not too satisfied with my Magellan. Only thing I like about it is the 7" screen.
Considering of getting the Garmin dezl 7" or maybe buying a Nexus 7" tablet with either Co-pilot software, or just using the built-in navigation. I would like to have the capability of height restrictions, turns, etc. on the tablet.
One other thing is why are gps's in landscape mode? Wouldn't it be better if they were in portrait mode? It would give you twice as much forward view of the map. Don't really need to see what's on either side as much as what's ahead of you. At least with a tablet and the right mount I could use it like that.
Anyone using a 7" tablet for navigating in the coach?
