The GPS MAP ® 276Cx has two System Usage Modes, Automotive and Marine. There are audible Tone Alerts but no external speaker in the unit. Completely new hardware and software make this device familiar, yet all new: GNSS (GPS+GLONASS), Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ANT+, expandable industry standard micro-SD Card storage and a brilliant non-touchscreen display. The newly introduced GPS MAP ® 276Cx All-terrain GPS Navigator is targeting Marine, Light Aircraft and Automotive (terrestrial) use - just like its predecessors.Īlthough the new GPS MAP ® 276Cx has similar features, this is not a dusted-off 276C. Although Garmin has created several zūmo® and handheld devices targeted for the Motorcycle community, the discontinuance of the GPS MAP ® 276C- series left a hole in the product line for many Motorcyclists which had not been filled - until now! They still bring amazingly high prices on auction sites, like e-Bay, even in their discontinued-afterlife. Over the years the GPS MAP ® 276C-series were among Garmins best selling consumer devices around the world. The 276C-series appealed to us because it had the basic features we wanted - rugged, battery or hardwired power without compromising its waterproof and dustproof features, a reasonably high resolution color display, support for Waypoints, Routes & Tracks and above all, a glass display and button controls - no touchscreen. When Garmin introduced the original GPS MAP ® 276C in 2004 it was arguably the beginning of the GPS- era for Dual Sport and Adventure Riding Motorcyclists.

There are still some issues with some Garmin Maps regarding map redraw performance but many user are finding performance acceptable. Please note that I have now placed the GPSMAP 276Cx on my Recommed List based upon the latest updates, v3.60, to the software.
