Hi James,
I got a Garmin 276c from you a couple years ago for use on our sailboat and my bike. We've sold the sailboat (last week) and I'm considering selling the 276c for something a bit more compact. Any thoughts of what a fair price to ask for it would be? It has all the original stuff that came with it but I'm selling the marine data chip separately.
Since it's been 4+ months since you posted here I was wondering what you're recommending these days. Are any of the units better than others at seeing dirt and gravel roads? Thanks.
If the old GPSMAP 276C is in pretty good condition, it could possibly sell for $300 to $400. Currently, refurbished units could be found for about $355.
As far a replacemet unit that's more compact and use on motorcycle and cars, I would recommend looking at the Zumo 450, 550 and also the Quest 2. TOPO U.S. 2008 car compatible with these 3 units but I'm not sure how much of the dirt or gravel road it will show. Feature of the TOPO U.S. 2008 are below:
