Paul,

It is amazing how prices continue to decline on electronic
equipment. I have no doubt that this stuff will become the norm.

Here's a site that includes high-nit LCD screens:

If you can live with VGA and 500 nits, how about $1095?
Touchscreen and runs on 12 volt. The non-touchscreen version is
$200 cheaper:
MTR-MBL-HT8  EarthVue Mobile
Touch Monitor Analog VGA 8.4"
4096 COLOR TFT
500 NIT
12 Volt Operation

But if you really want the most in sunlight readable, how about
1200 nits? Unfortunately, it costs $2300 but that will come down
too:
MTR-EB-ADC-10 EarthBrite
10.4" TFT VGA Analog
262k COLOR TFT
1200 NIT
Latest Sharp LCD

These topo maps are going to be everywhere in time.
