The 1030/830 Touch screen is nice:
Setting up the display screen data fields is way faster and easier.
Zooming and panning the map is still kind of slow and annoying, but it does work.
I won't go back to just buttons.

osmand:
Open Street map app for Android. I have the pay version. I think the free version limits how many state maps you can load.

This stores state maps in the phone. So I only need a view of the sky for GPS and no cell service is needed.
I can launch the app in 3-5 seconds, and see my local area. Zooming in increases the detail dramatically. It's way easier for deciding ride options out on the road, instead if trying to use the tiny Garmin map.
It's great for hiking too, switching the map style to Walk instead of Drive, Bike, or General. Lots of hiking trails shown (but not everywhere.)
