Garmin 276C has interest iQue reminiscinet fetures

[jonasolof]

480x320 screen but with 256 colours. LED backlight.
Li ion battery
City Select (and not City Navigator), fixed basemap.

And double NMEA ports.
water resistant
Marine nav options
Anchor etc alarms.
Quad helix antenna and option for external antenna
User replaceable Li IOn pack (at 42 USD)

I didn't figure out if it has SD cards though.

Suddenly more choice: G60 as handheld, gpmsmap276c as portable, iQue in betwen.

The big big big MINUS is the memory: Accepts standard Garmin data cards and pre-programmed data cards. Definitely NO BUY!

There's also the new 76CS, which is a beefed-up 60CS, more or less.

More and more units with City Select. Are select or navigator merging or is there some really expensive to license data in Navigator? AFAIK memory requirements are not that different.

Maybe they are merging into the same product in the future. As far as I know, there used to be a larger difference in memory requirement, since City Select was targeted primarily towards the GPS V, which has a map memory of 32 MB, and where the basemap uses 13 MB of these. Only 19 MB left for the user.
Big difference compared to 128 MB - 13 MB = 115 MB, as with the GPSMAP 76CS, or even the 64 MB - 13 MB = 51 MB of the 60 CS.

City Navigator was designed for the StreetPilot series, which supported (extremely expensive) proprietary memory cards from the beginning.
