garmin 450 gps question

[mainer]

I'm looking at getting a Garmin 450 or 450t. My question is: With a pair of gloves on in colder weather, will I be able to operate the touch functions, particularly the function of using the thumb & forefinger to zoom in or out. Will keeping the gloves on hinder this process? Thanks alot. Guy

I used mine for the first time this spring turkey hunting, and it would work with gloves on.

I own the 450, its a great GPS,I used gloves and no issue.

Works good with thin gloves. No problems. It is not the same sort of screen you see on iphones/ipods/androids. Different Technology.

The screen glare is so much less on the 450 as compared to the 400, good choice.

Thanks alot fellas, I appreciate your responses. I've looked into this quite a bit, and compared the deLorme products to the Garmins, and settled on the 450T. Plus I think transferring the waypoints from my old Garmin Etrex Vista will be alot easier, too. Thanks again, Guy
