Katari Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Hi Guys, Does anyone own a GARMIN GPSMAP 276C Chartplotter. If so how do you rate it? I am looking for a basic chartplotter/gps Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black CC Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Hey Katari, I own one and I've had it for 6 years. Extremely tough and reliable and I will be buying another one when this one eventually dies. If you are going to the Kingfish social on Sunday I'm happy to give you a quick demo.

nsw drifter Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Yes have this unit. Got it because it was portable. Fairly easy to use which ranks up there as pretty important to me. Have to buy a datacard as well (couple of hundred). Actually use it in the car sometimes as well (seperate software needed). In the boat I haven't used it for anything tricky just finding reefs - wrecks but is much easier than an old style gps as for marked strucutures you can see how big they are and surrounding landmarks - better sense of distance. Suppose only drawback i can think of is you could probably get a fixed one with a larger screen for similar money if you don't require portablity (i wanted to move between boats and have only limited space for eletronics so suits me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
