ya know, i wish i would have thaught bout color and battery power. But too late now. Ill have a charger in the car, so I think ill be ok. although in defence of the color screen. I think it may help alittle here and there, with the screen as small as they are I would think it would help show alittle more detail cleaner. But I do fully agree with the light issue with it.
Thanks for the software tip baja, i happened across it later that night - already on the way from wally world.

is there a garmin model that is the same as the 276c but without the marine features. it seems to me that would suit most off roaders the best. oh and if it had xm weather and was priced below 500$ just think how many they could sell to the folks on this board alone!

BajaTaco said:LOL - yea, that would be cool. But then, most fantasies are coolBTW, regarding XM weather, I think the subscription service for that is a little spendy - just something to factor in to any decision-making.
spendy = 100 one time activation fee plus 100 bucks a month just for the weather! plus xm traffic, plus xm radio!

oh yeah no two ways about it. that is way too expensive for most people. i have only looked at the aviation weather subscriptions for the units i have installed in planes and they are way up there. im not sure if the marine or other units display different data or if they have different price options or what. a lot of the weather stuff for planes would be useless for off road travel not to mention that no one would be able to decipher the codes and abrivitaions and accronyms they use. but it would be really cool to have nexrad radar and be able to see if a storm was heading your way etc. and your correct, add traffic and music on top of that and its a real handfull. as long as we are dreaming we might as well have a unit thats got the 2 meter radio in it as well. oh just think if it was really similar to the garmin 530, that would be the ultimate http://www.garmin.com/products/gns530/ that would have the room to display all the gps data u needed and weather and 2 meter radio you would need a way to cool it but they could build in a small fan pretty easily. and it could have all the stuff built into it for gps/radio postion reporting. hmm now we are onto something
