Is it 530 buttons only, 830 touch only?
Essentially, yes. The 830 has buttons, but the UI is primarily touch-screen driven.
I get the point of panning the map with a touch screen, but with things like RWGPS/Komoot on your phone you can always do that on your phone quickly, save a route and sync it across, no?
Indeed. The prospect of trying to plan a route on the Garmin itself doesn't strike me as attractive in any way. Quite apart from the fact that the Garmin routing varies from poor to dreadful.
Brommers-
It's not so much planning a route but working out diversions due to road closures / unsuitable roads etc as and when you come across them out on a ride. I can normally work out a way round whilst still riding if I zoom out and pan around. Having to stop and check the phone was a real pain on the 530.
