I'd probably have got the hang of it if I'd stuck with it, but it felt like a device designed for use with a touch screen that didn't have one. I was used to how the 705 worked, which obviously was designed to work without a touchscreen and the 530 seemed more of a workaround to get it to work with buttons.
If I got a Garmin it sounds like the 830 would be the one, but I think I'm about to order a Stages Dash L50 - unless I find out anything horrible about it in the next couple of days. Bright colour screen and really long battery life and no touchscreen, plus four data fields on the map screen - it sounds great.

I want data fields too. I don't think etrex does power, does it?
But it would work as a backup map with phone as the main navigation.
