RE: Leather gloves for touchscreen - Offroad - 06-20-2018
Thanks for the replies! I appreciate any and all advise.
i'm just wanting to be able to stop and zoom in or out when I think GPS is taking me the wrong way.
I have both a Garmin nav and Google maps, but Google maps is easier to zoom out and scroll on.
I go exploring or taking back roads to destinations and I'm just trying to be smarter than the computer instead of following it blindly. So I really need to be able to pinch to zoom out and see where I'm at and what options I have. Sometimes it tries to take me down gravel roads...not cool. LOL

offroad, I've got a pair of motorcycle gloves from a company called five and a couple of the fingers will work a smart phone. You can also get tips that stick on, I think. Five's gloves are here https://five-gloves.com/home/. These are the ones I use, https://five-gloves.com/glove/stunt-evo-leather-air/. They are very light weight and not a lot of use in really cold weather. I seem to recall EmptySea and others had something to say about the video.

Like Houtman and Peter I wouldn't compromise on safety for the sake of ease of smartphone use.
