You really should learn how to use a search engine (or to ask an AI).

Nothing wrong with the XX30 series, the XX50 series have brilliant screens but they also have poor battery life, the 1040 is probably a safer bet.What would you like to bet that I know 100 mtimes morew about technology than you do?I'm the one that worked 50 years as an EE and software engineer. I njust got another offer yesterday for a job to make $200,000/year. Thet soubnds to me like a ittle more confidence in my abilities than you seem to have. Obviously you have no technical abilities and think that if someone could design and program medical machines, the could understand military grade GPS without a warm-up. If you believe the world to be so simple why aren't you rich?
Though considering how much you struggle with technology, I?d suggest not changing, I believe the interface is quite different now.

Knowing that the battery like of the 1050 is impared is what I was looking for.

"Garmin is betting that there-As more users that want a
pretty/fast/brilliant screen that lasts 20-30 hours, versus one that
lasts 50-90 hours. And for those that want the 50-90 hours? Garmin
still has that for them too."
