Garmin 276c

From the Garmin GPSMAP 60cx to the Garmin i3, there is a GPS device for everyone from this leading company.

Garmin knew that active individuals needed a reliable crossover device to help them navigate their way. In this world of James Bond caliber adventure, we find ourselves traveling by various modes in our pursuits.

Garmin GPSMAP
At the very beginning of the Garmin line of GPS maps, there are aviation navigator maps for pilots to travel by land, air and sea, such as the GPSMAP 96 or 196, for example. From those basic grey-scale models, Garmin has advanced to full-color portable devices like the GPSMAP 495 and 496, adding airport maps, pre-loaded maps, 3,000 favorite locations, traffic information services, voice prompts, satellite radio and weather.

The Garmin GPSMAP 76 series ranges from $200 to $428.56, depending on the model. The marine-friendly navigator maps are great for serious outdoor adventurers who want a barometric altimeter, electronic compass, location tracking and turn-by-turn directions.

The grey-scale Garmin GPSMAP comes with the 76 and 76-S models, while the 76Cx and 76CSx models display in 256 colors with transflective screens. The higher end GPSMAP 76cx and 76CSx models also beat the cheaper 76 models in that they have high-quality receivers for when you’re in deep canyons, dense forests or far-off mountain ranges.

Additionally, the more expensive models accept pre-loaded data cards if you want to add more maps without linking up to the computer. The 276c is also compatible with Blue Chart marine maps, which provide more detail for your high seas adventures.

GPS navigation
A Garmin GPSMAP may come in various formats. When you’re on the road, you’ll probably be using “City Navigator” maps, which include over 6 million points of interest, traffic data and detailed street information.

When you’re sailing, you’ll use the “Blue Chart” GPS maps with 3-D perspective, coastal points of interest, depth contours, shipwreck locations and auto-guide technology. Hikers will use the “Topo US” maps that include terrain contours, elevation information, trails, bodies of water, routable roads and points of interest.

Garmin recently released The StreetPilot 7200 and although the price is not cheap here are a few discounted place to buy it.
