 good product, poor engineering February 26, 2008

Like the previous reviewer- great product because it allows you to hear the directions from the 276c, but given the bend in the attachment point, it will break. I have one that's broken and after a call to garmin about warranty (they said one year, so i'll have to keep this receipt and send it back before the year is up if there's an issue), I'm having to buy another one. I've got a direct wiring kit for a motorcycle but in the car in unfamiliar places it's nice to have the voice tell you where to go without having to watch the screen.
The garmin 276c is a great piece of equipment but the subpar accessories (garmin proprietary card and poor power cable) really make me want to look for another GPS.

THe connection to the Garmin 276C via this cable is at a 90 degree angle. It is not made well. This results in breakage of the wires at this point. The rest of the cable is made well and voice clarity is pretty good. I have given up with the "pretty" "new" look. The cable is held together with electrical tape, gum, and duct tape. I thought it was me at first so I replaced them. I don't what the designers were thinking. The unit is designed to be used both on the boat and in the car. It's moved around alot. Even with the greatest care breakage is inevitable. Despite the problems with the cable, I like the GPS very much. Unfortunately at a cost of $70.00 in stores (I've gone through 3 cables in a year), I will have to look to other products in future.
