which is a touch screen. I've had it since they came out several years ago. I like the touch screen, but in rough weather it's harder to touch the right spot. Anyone going offshore would probably prefer buttons. I clean my screen occassionaly when it gets too many finger prints on it, but have not experienced any of the problems that Larry describes. I have a little spray bottle of the stuff you use to clean eyeglasses. It's what Garmin recomends to clean their touch screen. All in all, I like it.
