Kind of odd really, the world is now full of electronic devices that all require button pushes, maybe the OP is just old and cranky like me and is tired of all the intrusive technology in our lives. I used to write down in a book, the particulars of a ride as generated by my old style cycling computer. Then in the early 2000's migrated to a cloud based activity log that was much more useful, then discovered that a Garmin could track the activity and upload automatically to the cloud, I could view my information and go back and add data like "charged Di2", which then told me how many miles ridden between charges. A crap ton of useful and sometimes useless data. Having be able to give me TBT on roads I was not familiar with was a game changer and made the device worthwhile and I'm perfectly happy to push buttons to gain that utility.
