I was a huge skeptic of the “touch screen” aspect before my purchase of it. After a full season of use, I have no regrets! For me now to give it up would be like taking my smart phone away and giving me a flip phone. And that’s not going to happen. You do have to have an exposed finger or the special gloves that Ted suggested to operate it in cold weather. I personally found for me that the cold weather operation was not an issue for me. You still can drop quick waypoints with the mechanical button with your gloves on.
