So far its my favorite GPS. I have a couple Nuvi's, Montana, Etrex, and Magellan. The 276 shines that the screen is big and uses buttons
instead of touch screen. I can manipulate the buttons underway much easier. I didn't have any issues downloading free maps or the Garmin lower 49. Another bonus is the big screen is much more friendly to make an impromptu route on, being that google earth and base camp don't mix anymore. I think the Montana has more features like calculating area and setting profiles easier, but 276 does switch between Automotive/motorcycle ect. Biggest gripe is just learning to seamlessly navigate through the menus because I'm used to Montana interface. The 276 won't connect to Sena smh10 intercom either, but hooked to smartphone easy. Mine came with a fancy schmancy Garmin rugged amp type mount that isn't very conducive for bike mounting, so I used a standard Amps mount I already had.
