I don't think "a lot" is warranted; I could figure out how to do most of
what I wanted to do on the 480 without manual-reading and found it
reasonably intuitive, though the 430 makes the basics more obvious.

I haven't found the 480 difficult. Neither has really Margy. The
advantage for us is that we weren't tainted by having learned the
Garmin-style interface first. There's a lot of key multiplexing
due to cramming a lot of features in a tiny amount of space.

The basic is, if you want to use a non-GPS function, make sure
you press it's button first. If you want to use a GPS function,
press MAP first to get to a known state.
