Digital camera reviews of Garmin GPSMAP 276C GPS Receiver
Digital camera Review: In for repair
Summary: 3 Stars
Nice unit, does everything well. After third use, the voice disappeared, unit back to Garmin for replacement. Second week and waiting.Digital camera Review: Interesting product
Summary: 4 Stars
So far, we don't have this completely up-and-running. It hasn't been particularly intuitive as far as set-up goes. (At least for us, and we're usually pretty good with technology.) It looks as though it will be good. Maybe after we actually take it out for a "spin", we'll have better insight.Digital camera Review: My fifth Garmin GPS
Summary: 4 Stars
Yep 5. GPS2, 3, 3+, 5 and now a 276. It would seem I am a good customer. I ride ATVs all over the back country of the west. Each GPS I have owned has been an improvement over the last. I wouldn't leave home without one. The 276C is great. I love the large color screen and being able to load almost all of the Topo maps I will ever need in it. I have found that the marine contrast/color setting works best in the bright sun. It could be brighter but I works OK. The contrast/color of the bread crumb trail is excellent, it really stands out well. I like being able to scale back the geo-clutter with 1 button. Overall I am very happy with my new GPS. I'm sure it and I will have many great rides. Thanks Garmin. I'll be back.Digital camera Review: Outstanding Garmin product...as usual
Summary: 5 Stars
Garmin has to be the best GPS available. It is the only one I buy, and this is my fifth unit. It is fast to aquire satellite data, and will position you within feet of where you are. I would like to have the option to increase the size of the font, but that is not available to the extent I need for motorcycle use. Rugged and reliable, if just a little over price; but then you are paying for the Garmin name. Software was easy to install on my GPS.Digital camera Review: Playing by Garmin's Rules
Summary: 2 Stars
If you purchase a Garmin product, especially this one, you are firmly in the clutches of a Company that gives you what they want you to have, not what you might want. Everything Garmin makes is proprietary so that nothing else will work on a Garmin. You will be unable to transfer data to Garmin media, you will be insulted by a website either written by or for aliens and should you call the customer service or cartography lines assuming you wish to wait and wait, you will get to talk to people so uninformed about Garmin products your wait was wasted. The dingus works ok with Garmin chips, but the chips are inadequate or incomplete.
If you should have a Mac, Garmin leaves you totally unsupported so that if you choose a Garmin you need to buy a PC, a downloader, and Garmin chips to go with Garmin's vastly overpriced CDs. In short, if you prefer unsupported products that are designed to force you to buy from a company indifferent to their customers, Garmin should be at the top of your list with their GPSMAP 276c.
