I wrestled with that same concern, but I overcame it.
For 'casual use' there's Direct-To, and that's not complicated at all.
With the new GPS gear, we can climb the learning curve gradually,
using one new feature at a time, after becoming comfortable with each.
The CNX-80/GNS-430 is especially rich in available features,
but nobody says we have to use all of them in the beginning.
