I've don't pull over and remove my Nuvi when it rains. There's a Youtube tutorial about how to weatherproof a Nuvi using silicon sealant; I did that a couple years ago, and have been in multiple downpours since, and the Nuvi is running strong.
Good luck using a car GPS with gloves on? It's a pressure sensitive screen on a Nuvi; it works just fine with gloves on. I just used mine with gloves on today.
I'm sure the Nuvi isn't as bright as the Zumo. I combat that by cranking up the brightness to 100%, and leaving it always on "night" mode to increase the contrast. I also have a sun shield I made from sheet plastic that helps. It's still probably not as bright as a Zumo, but it works for me. I'm sure a Zumo is better (and it better be, to justify the difference in price), but not all car based GPS units suffer from the deficiencies you mentioned.
