“We’re excited to introduce a fresh and versatile update to the
classic all-terrain navigator with the GPSMAP 276Cx,” said Dan
Bartel, Garmin vice president of worldwide sales. “Back by popular
demand, and updated to fit the 2016 user, the GPSMAP 276Cx can
handle anything users want to put it through, no matter if they are
out on the water, hitting the trails or cruising through city
streets.”
The GPSMAP 276Cx comes preloaded with a worldwide basemap with
shaded relief, as well as a subscription to BirdsEye Satellite
Imagery2 to see real-life terrain views right on the device.
Additionally, the GPSMAP 276Cx is compatible with a variety of
optional maps including Garmin HuntView™, which provides satellite
imagery, landowner and parcel information to make your next hunting
trip a success. Other supported maps include Garmin TOPO maps,
BlueChart® g2 HD marine charts, Custom Maps, raster maps and
turn-by-turn routing on City Navigator® and TOPO US 24K maps. The
device’s 8 GB of internal memory can also be expanded using a
microSD™ card (sold separately).
The GPSMAP 276Cx also boasts a variety of new connected
features. Using Wi-Fi® or when paired via Bluetooth to the Garmin
Connect™ mobile app on supported devices, the 276Cx delivers Active
Weather forecasts and animated weather tracking so users can always
be aware of the current weather conditions. Additional app
connected features include automatic uploads, smart notifications,
LiveTrack and more. The 276Cx also supports ANT+® for external
sensor integration, Bluetooth® headsets and Wi-Fi® for automatic
updates.
The larger, sunlight-readable 5-inch display, familiar
push-button controls, and highly customizable, intuitive user
interface makes the GPSMAP 276Cx as easy to use as its predecessor.
There are a variety of mounting options, and with an IPX73 water
rating, it’s ready to withstand the elements. Another upgrade to
the classic design is the new dual battery system, which is
compatible with the rechargeable Li-Ion battery pack (included),
traditional AA batteries (sold separately), and several powered
mount options (powered AMPS compatible mount included). The 276Cx
can get up to 16 hours of battery life with the rechargeable
battery, and up to 8 hours with AA batteries.
