Touch screen with dive gloves?
Getting a new gps/sounder...Anyone have a recommendation or advice on touch screen vs no touch screen considering using dive gloves? I am skeptical but reviews asay the new technology allows the touch screens to be fully operational with wet dive gloves

Re: Touch screen with dive gloves?
I’m putting a Garmin 1042 on my boat. I think touch screens are not so good for boats(ever use your iPhone while someone is driving)

In the past... But.... My buddy has two Garmin touch screens on his boat.... We're out spearing allot on that boat... And Now I realize how wrong I was about touch screens! If I ever replace my unit, it will be touch screen. |

Re: Touch screen with dive gloves?
A lot of Touch screens probably won't work with gloves, but I did see some cut-resistant non-slip gloves at Home Depot the other day that are designed to work with capacitive touchscreens like a phone/tablet. Not sure if the chartplotters are capacitive or another tech.

Problem is the salt on the screen. It's going to be a smeary mess.

It's not a problem. The wetter the glove the better and the screen isn't at all like your smart phone that will go haywire when wet.
Had mine for 3 years now. Garmin svx12

Re: Touch screen with dive gloves?
My works fine with my gloves on for the most part. I actually have more of an issue when my bare hands are soaking wet. Also is effected if you have large droplets on the screen obviously

Used my Garmin 741xs almost exclusively with wet dive gloves. No issues.
