The Garmin Edge 530 is operated by buttons located around the unit, while the Edge 830 is a touch screen unit. Both devices feature a 2.3"/58.4mm colour display.

The screen of the Garmin Edge 530 is small in comparison to the Edge 1030 or the Hammerhead Karoo, however, thanks to the 246x322 pixel resolution display, it really doesn't suffer as a result.
