Import and navigate Tracks and Routes: In either case, the GPSMAP 276Cx is more than capable when it comes to loading and navigating Routes and Tracks. ✓CHECK
Record a ride: The GPSMAP 276Cx has all of the Track Log recording options you'd expect to find on Garmin's handheld devices. ✓CHECK
Archive a ride: The GPSMAP 276Cx gives you con- trol over when your Track Log is archived. I prefer to archive my logs daily so I don't need to save in order to make managing easier. ✓CHECK
Share a ride: The GPSMAP 276Cx can share saved Routes, Tracks and Waypoints by using the "Share Wirelessly" via ANT, but this is a proprietary imple-
mentation between like devices only. ✓CHECK
Portable, ruggedized and waterproof: Yes, yes and yes, as we have come to expect from Garmin IPX7-rated devices. ✓CHECK
Powered by Battery and external 12VDC: The GPSMAP 276Cx has a replace- able Lithium-ion battery pack and can use either alkaline, lithium or NiMH AA batteries. The mounting system is the proven AMPS Rugged Mount used by the Montana Series and the Monterra. ✓CHECK
Glove Friendly: The only thing limiting your ability to interact with the GPSMAP 276Cx buttons is the thickness of your win- ter gloves and where you mount the device on your bike. ✓CHECK

Import and Create Waypoints and display their properties: The GPSMAP 276Cx certainly passes this criterion as outlined above. ✓CHECK
Software is user upgradeable: Yes, by using Garmin Express or Over The Air (OTA) using Wi-Fi. ✓CHECK
Optional World Wide Maps and Map Types: Garmin is the undisputed leader in con- sumer GPS sales. I believe that this came about mainly because they allowed their map technology to be reverse engineered by third party map developers over the years. Although not officially supported by Garmin, there are map products that cover
the globe and many are free. Third party, like those from Open Street Maps, will show minor roads on the map out to a scale of two miles. The GPSMAP 276Cx of course supports all of the Garmin City Navigator maps and other Garmin On The Road map products, but they will lose minor road detail at a scale of 0.8 mile like all current Moto-GPS devices. In Marine mode, Garmin's BlueChart and LakeVu maps are also supported. ✓CHECK
All of my Criteria have been easily met by the new Garmin GPSMAP 276Cx!
