Product Review
Garmin GPSMap 276C is a WAAS-enabled, 12 parallel channel GPS receiver provides color chart plotting for both land and sea, making it an excellent addition to any boat or automobile dashboard. Its display has 3.8-inch, 480 x 320 pixel, 256-color backlit TFT that provides enhanced sunlight-readability, and its adjustable quad helix receiving antenna with remote antenna capability delivers superior data reception.
For extra-precise navigation, the 276C has a Course Deviation Indicator (CDI), a feature normally found on aircraft, but equally practical for the marine environment. The CDI quickly indicates whether your boat has veered off-course and helps you get back on track quickly. The 276C also supports external NMEA sources for water depth, water temperature, and water speed through two serial interfaces.
On land, the GPSMAP 276C's autoroute basemap can route you on interstates and major highways. The 276C is compatible with BlueChart maps, which add extra detail when you're out on the seas. It also accepts optional MapSource data cards, so you can add other types of map data easily. For convenience and easy map transfer, you can connect the 276C to your computer with the included USB cable.
