Maybe also worth noting that the 1030 and 1030 Plus use an older (and slower) processor than the 530/830.
My post was poorly phrased. I should have phrased this to say that the 1030 (at least) better displays maps on a larger screen, with the ease of using the touch screen to zoom and pan around the map. That tends to make it a better choice if you use it for navigating a lot.
The 1030 Plus has the same processor as the 830, is why they claim it’s faster. DCRainmaker did a side by side comparison and the Plus is a bit faster, but not fast enough in his opinion to make much difference in everyday use. From what I saw I’d agree.
