    Duration of ownership:1 Months

    Strengths: great screen and intuitive set up

    Weaknesses: marine basemaps lack any useful information

    Overall Evaluation: I moved up from the hand held basic entry level Garmin to the 276C. The hand held shows inlets, markers, buoys, channels for $99. To get this info into the 276C you need to buy the bluechart package for $150 more. The basemap that is included shouldn't even be called a map, its an outline of where the land meets the sea, nothing more.

    Duration of ownership:40 Days

    Strengths: Battery powered

    Weaknesses: Proprietary memory card

    Overall Evaluation: Garmin classifies the 276C as a marine unit but it's really dual-use. Garmin made it very clear that for car use, you need the (extra) road pack and I just velcro the 276C to my steering column. With no power cords it's quick and easy to swap between car and bike too. It combines everything a GPS has to do. Locating where you are, Multi Route and Track options, Turn by Turn routing, independent power supply, reachargeble battery. Nice product!
