Reply With QuoteResistive touchscreen technology works well with almost any stylus-like object, and can also be operated with gloved fingers and bare fingers alike. In some circumstances, this is more desirable than a capacitive touchscreen, which needs a capacitive pointer, such as a bare finger (though some capacitive sensors can detect gloves and some gloves can work with all capacitive screens). A resistive touchscreen operated with a stylus will generally offer greater pointing precision than a capacitive touchscreen operated with a finger.
We tried to use touch screen on a boat many years ago. Everything worked well till it got a wet screen. The above is from Wikapedia.
You maybe better using a styles or corner of a Bank Card if you go down the captive route.

Resistive vs capacitive
I’m in the market for a GPS for my motorcycle.
The dedicated moto units, Zumo, Tom Tom are nice but really expensive.
I have the potential to pick up a used 660 (Not an LM version) with a Touratech mount for $300 CDN.
Alternatively there’s a Nuvi 2557 LMT for $190. I can’t determine if I’ll be able to use the 2557 while wearing gloves.
Are there good resistive non-moto specific units out there?
