I'll add this to fishfood,if I get something on my hand(such as fish formula,when I swipe or pinch it leaves a pretty nasty smudge)

Yeah, the smudge thing is what makes me skeptical about a touch unit......but the buttons are there for backup.

How easy is it to operate the unit with just the buttons?

I went out early this morning,it was pretty chilly ,so I wore my jersey gloves and operated the unit,using only the joystick and wheel with no problems. Actually, I'm thinking of just using the wheel and joystick later on.
