Need recommendation for new unit with better School Zone Alerts

Hi,
my first post. I have had a Garmin Nüvi 1690 for several years now and recently purchased School Zone Alerts for it, but the alert is not very eye-catching. I'd like a much more visible, perhaps customizable alert.
Perhaps I'm forgetting something, but here are other considerations:
I drive in Canada and the US.
I'd like a 5" or larger screen; I have big hands and aging eyes.
I like to see the current speed (I use several vehicles, so this is useful to have always visible).
I'd like to see the current time.
If I'm in the mountains, I like to see the current elevation.
I'd like to see the distance to the destination
And I'd like to see the estimated time of arrival.
No cellular data.
Any assistance is appreciated!

But about how big is the school zone alert banner? My current Garmin has a small grey banner that doesn't stand out.
