Consumer review (tigerdirect.com)

had to send back

This is a refurb model and came with the wrong cable. I called for the correct cable and they sent me the same cable again. Obviously the unit was never tested or they would have caught this. I sent the unit back.

Excellent Purchase

This product is just what I was looking for. I travel extensively and the case was much needed.

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Works perfectly!

Purchased in combination with the Forerunner 405 (#010-00658-10) for just slightly less than the 405 with the heart rate monitor included (#010-00658-20). I went this route because several reviewers commented on the spottiness of the heart rate...

Eliminates any variability in monitoring radial arterial pulse from the wrist

If not adjusted properly, it can be distracting to have fastened around your chest during prolonged periods of hyperventilation

Great

I needed a adapter for the computer and I found it here with a great deal. I shopped around. And was shipped in a timely manner also.

If you are unfamilar with this unit, make sure you talk with PC nation before purchasing or you could be charged a return processing fee. The detailed mapping software is included on the 478 and 578. The cost of adding the detailed mapping software is...

Didn ; t have it long enough to find out as we returned it in a few days

We live on an island and it had our location in the ocean. Garmin tried software updates and but it was no help. Our location on their base map was off by a 1/2 mile. On our next contact with Garmin, they told us we would have to buy additional mapping...

Price

Unit cannot operate without additional software and memory. Further, largest memory chip for this unit will only accommodate half the map data for the US. Do not waste your money.

GPSMAP 276C PORTABLE SYSTEMS

Good product.

It's a Garmin. That pretty much says it all. Good overall quality and reliability. Best feature, to me, is it's total portability including rechargeable battery.

The plug for the A/C charger just will not plug into the unit's receptacle. Called Garmin and their "tech" basically told me to "force it" into place. Tried that, still no go. So, I recharge the unit using the D/C data cord only. I may return to Garmin...

GPSMAP 276C PORTABLE SYSTEMS

I purchased this for dirt bike trail plotting because it has a large screen (important when you have dirty goggles on) and the buttons are far enough apart that you could operate it just fine with motorcycle gloves on. This isn't one of those cell...

Large screen, Tons of features, Rugged design, Buttons that are large enough and far enough apart that my big fingers don't press 5 of them at once, a lot of backlighting adjustment, and an automatic nightime mode that basically turns the display to a...

Maps are oversimplified, it only shows highways and freeway exits (but in a handheld device, I suppose it cant have everything) I would have hoped the software that came with it would have had more detailed maps so you could upload a detailed map for a...
