New Garmin GTN touchscreen

http://sites.garmin.com/gtn/

Touchscreen panel mount successors to the GNS series.

My day job is designing user interfaces for software applications, and in my opinion they did a decent job here. The dial-a-frequency is particularly cool, though we'll have to wait and see on the identifier input. I like the direction this is going though. Fewer knobs to wear out, but also that usually means no quick grab and twist, you have to navigate to the appropriate page by touch/tap like an iPhone.

Pretty neat but I'm sure you'll want to carry your microfiber cloth and some screen cleaner with you next time you rent so you can wipe the mayonnaise fingerprints off the screen.
