[QUOTE="Dog Ranger, post: 640567, member: 14141"] Look up ZOMBIE finger regards touch screens explains why a screen saver won't rectify the issue and hence why touch screen devices are not really the best choice of device for prospecting use. Give someone like Johnny Appleseed GPS a call as they will give you the HONEST pros and cons of units not based on a sale buck. 👍 At the end of the day it's buyers / your choice, but just don't see the sense in purchasing an item when there are better alternatives available to suit the particular task it's being purchased for ? Anyways the suns arising and I have to beat the wave of Easter scratchers :oops: so I'm off to get my hands dirty for the day, as some nuggets have been patiently waiting thousands of years for me to get my grubby hands on them 😉 [B]Excerpt[/B] There are a few things you can do to prevent zombie fingers, one of which is to make sure your hands are clean. [B]If there’s a significant amount of dust, dirt other debris on your fingers, it may prevent the electrical contact from occurring. [/B]Also, consider using a stylus if you are having trouble getting your touchscreen to register. [/QUOTE]
