If you want to experience Garmin navigation at its best, the GPSMAP 276Cx is perfect for you. This navigator provides accurate navigation off-road or on the water, wherever you take it. The new 276Cx adds a number of advanced navigation features without limiting the original 276 experience. With a large 5" display, improved sensors such as GPS+GLONASS, pressure altimeter and 3-axis compass, comprehensive marine and outdoor functions as well as mapping support, the GPSMAP 276Cx is a strong successor in this legendary product line.
The true 276 experience
The new GPSMAP 276Cx is developed from the legendary GPSMAP 276C, which was known to be the most versatile and powerful navigator for outdoor use that Garmin has ever built. To guarantee the true 276 experience, Garmin has kept most of the user interface unchanged – even the keyboard is exactly like its predecessor. Fans of the 276 will appreciate the many customization options they get with the new navigator and will be thrilled with all the new features that have been added to the classic 276.
Improved sensor technology
GPSMAP 276Cx gets a comprehensive sensor technology update. The device has GPS and GLONASS positioning, which provides better performance in challenging environments. For optimal satellite detection in vehicles, an external antenna (not included) can be connected to the built-in MCX connector. To provide increased awareness of the surroundings, the device now also has a pressure altimeter, which can give you even altitude measurements, and an electronic 3-axis compass, which gives you the right course in all conditions - even when you are stationary.
User interface optimized for outdoor use
We know how important optimal readability is during navigation, and that's why we created the new GPSMAP 276Cx with a large 5" display that can be read outdoors, with great colors that provide a better mapping view. Due to its wide viewing angle, it can clearly can be read from different positions, so even when the unit is mounted in a cockpit, the visibility and button-based user interface allow for safe operation, even in shaky environments such as in a boat or in an off-road vehicle.
Robust and durable
Built to Garmin's high standards, this unit performs in almost any condition. The device is highly durable and water rated to IPX7 1 thanks to thoroughly tested hard-wearing mounting system. With more than 4 years of experience working with Montana®, we can provide solid mounts for almost any vehicle or vessel out there. To give you even more freedom, we've made the device more flexible in terms of power supply - you can either connect the device to the vehicle's or boat's power supply, or you can use the lithium-ion battery pack (up to 17 hours of battery life) or 3 optional AA batteries ( up to 9 hours of battery life).
More mapping, more memory
Almost anywhere you want to go, the GPSMAP 276Cx has a compatible map to show you the way. It comes with a large 8GB of internal memory with a pre-loaded global background map, a recreational map of Europe. It also supports a number of optional cards, e.g. BlueChart ® g3 marine charts, Garmin TOPO and TOPO PRO maps, City Navigator® NT and Garmin Customs Maps. A microSD ™ slot allows you to further expand the memory to load additional mapping.
More navigation
Along with relevant mapping, the GPSMAP 276Cx offers additional navigation features such as the familiar nüvi™ mode for road navigation or Curvy Roads route planning for motorcyclists, which highlights smaller roads that are more fun to ride. When used with TOPO PRO maps, the device can choose from a variety of recreational route planning settings that select appropriate road types for each activity or vehicle. And for users who prefer navigation on courses and tracks, the new 276Cx also offers advanced track navigation.
Improved connected features
The new GPSMAP 276Cx also comes with a number of advanced connected functions. You can connect your 276Cx via a Bluetooth headset to get TTS guidance in your helmet. Or when the device is connected to a smartphone 2 , you can receive Active Weather 3 , which provides weather forecasts and animated Weather Radar display on the map screen, smart notifications such as emails, SMS or updates from social media or LiveTrack that allows you to share your exact location with family and friends. The device can also connect wirelessly to external sensors via ANT+, such as tempe™ for external temperature readings, or you can connect it to WiFi for wireless updates and Garmin Connect™ database syncs.
