Chrisu Vienna, Austria, Europe February 22, 2010	GARMIN GPSMAP276C DATACARD 512MB For GPSMAP devices no other option to go with! Garmin already has learned to use SD cards for the new devices. So you are free to use the memory size you want to go with. For the older equipment like the GPSMAP276c first of all I have to search for best offers which I cant get in Europe as good as I have got through gpscity and second I can only get 512MB where only 1/3 of Europe will fit to. As I would like to stay with my multi-functional GPSMAP I wish that Garmin would come up with a 2GB chipsolution for the old equipments - if technically possible. Pros: the stick itself works very well Cons: 512mb memory space is much too small, 2gb needed Recommend: NO OPINION 4 viewers found this helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Barry Regina, SK January 12, 2010	16 MB GARMIN MEMORY I just bought a 16Gb SDHC for $90. The price for this card is a ripoff but it is the biggest available for my GPS Map 276C Pros: it works Cons: the price Recommend: YES 12 viewers found this helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Glenn, Narrows, Va. December 8, 2009	MEMORY CARD 512MB I had check with Garmin website found the memory card at a higher price. Was told about your site, the same size memory card was half the price. I give you all A+ Thanks Recommend: YES 18 viewers found this helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Sarel Rossouw Johannesburg, South Africa November 30, 2009	GOOD CARD To expensive. SD card would have been a better option for the 276C. Recommend: YES 22 viewers found this helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Sarel Rossouw Johannesburg, South Africa November 30, 2009	COST EFFECTIVE BUY I imported two memory cards cheaper than I could buy one 512MB card in South Africa.(A saving of US$45-00 on total puchase!!!) Fantastic service. Received the first e-mail back from gpcity within an hour of my request to purchase. Fedex, your carrier was just as good. Pros: quick, efficient and good Cons: none Recommend: YES 24 viewers found this helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Ski-doo buddy Goose Bay, Labrador November 21, 2009	GARMIN MEMORY CARD Fortunately for Garmin I supported their product and bought a 276C. Unfortunately for me I require this Garmin memory card that is significantly over priced and that Garmin do not realize that they are seriously gouging their customers on accessories. Pros: lots of memory for the land and navigation charts Cons: price.price.price Recommend: YES 27 viewers found this helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Errol Florida Park, South Africa October 31, 2009	512MB DATA CARD ADAPTER Would it be a bargain if Garmin could produce an adapter to accept the Micro-SD card.. Paying $81-00, postage and exchange rate, works out to be too expensive. Recommend: NO OPINION 34 viewers found this helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Philemon Johannesburg, South Africa October 12, 2009	AN EXTREMELY USEFUL TOOL TO HAVE Absolutely superb product. I purchased 3 of these cards - eventhough I already have 1 off 512mb and 2 off 128mb cards. Pros: very good service from the supplier - gpscity Cons: pity that garmin have discontinued the 276c Recommend: YES 34 viewers found this helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Rudinater Seabrook, TX/Bend, Or. October 8, 2009	GARMIN 512MB MEMORY CARD OK it sucks that you have to buy some special GARMIN memory card for $80+ when you can find SD 2gb cards for $8. But that is how it is and if you want to down load more maps to your GPS you have to do it. I use this in my 296 GPS to load topo maps. It has worked great and does what I need it to do. Pros: here has the best price i could find anywhere Recommend: YES 35 viewers found this helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Daryl Vancouver Island September 30, 2009	512 MEMORY CARD I like the ability to have one card for my favorite marine charts and then insert a land card for those maps without having to reload each time I switch back and forth. I agree that the price for Garmin memory cards is high, particularily when Garmin has customers who have purchased their products over other manufacturers. It would seem to me that keeping those customers happy would certainly help referral sales. It can't be that expensive to produce memory cards. Are we thinking price inflating here? Recommend: YES 41 viewers found this helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Rodrigo Brazil September 21, 2009	GARMIN MEMORY CARD A good memory card, but the costeffectiveness is not the ideal. The capacity and velocity did a huge upgrade in the GPS. Pros: huge construction, reliable memory. Cons: price Recommend: YES 45 viewers found this helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

R Halifax September 1, 2009	SMALL MEMORY CARD Working good, but too small and too expensive! Recommend: YES 39 viewers found this helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

T USA August 27, 2009	PRODUCT WORKS FINE BUT PER MB WAY OVER PRICED! Can you say PROPRIETARY? Garmin sure can and they will make sure that you can say it too when they charge you an arm and leg for half a gig of storage. They are also pretty good at pretending we are in a time warp for the price of solid state memory. At these prices, it looks like we are still living in 2004. Looks like they have protected their patent rights on this card too since they seem to not have allowed any licensing rights to any other memory card manufacturers to help drive prices down by spurring on competition. Way to go Garmin! Always thinking about the bottom line-your bottom line! Pros: works Cons: rediculously high price! Recommend: NO OPINION 55 viewers found this helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Hddeluxe Sweden August 25, 2009	EXTENDED MEMORY It's a pity that the card is so expensive and so small! Garmin should be ashamed to charge this amount of money for a product that should really be built in to the GPS. They also forces the usres to buy the largest avaliable memory by changing the maps into larger chunks. BTW it works as supposed though:-) Pros: pure necessity Cons: price Recommend: YES 59 viewers found this helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Claude Quebec City July 28, 2009	GARMIN 512MB MEMORY The data card was as specified and works as expected. Recommend: YES 65 viewers found this helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

ericdecan Puerto Ordaz, Estado Bolivar, Venezuela July 20, 2009	GREAT PURCHASE Very usefull, just what I ask. Thanks. Recommend: YES 73 viewers found this helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Seamus Alabama July 18, 2009	WORKS AS ADVERTISED Not much more you can say about memory. It works. Pros: it works. Cons: it's not a 2gb card. Recommend: YES 76 viewers found this helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Juanse SPAIN July 13, 2009	VERY EXPENSIVE MEMORY In spanish: Es un producto caro, son 512mb y cuestan 90 dolares y ahora mismo cualquier tarjeta de memoria de 2 gigas cuesta 15 dolares aproximadamente, por lo tanto me parece que GARMIN se aprovecha de que no se encuentran memorias de este tipo de otras marcas y hay que comprar la suya original al precio que ellos quieran. Pros: very hard Cons: expensive Recommend: YES 75 viewers found this helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

dimi Thessaloniki, Greece July 8, 2009	MEMORY CARD Fits only to some garmin gps plotters Recommend: YES 71 viewers found this helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

BTH Squamish, BC July 6, 2009	GARMIN MEMORY CARD Great Product Recommend: YES 68 viewers found this helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Doussinaux of France RANCOGNE June 25, 2009	BAD SURPRISE The cards themselves are perfect, but I had to pay more the price of taxes, VAT, and so on..... very desapointed ! Recommend: NO 78 viewers found this helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Rondo Baltimore, MD April 20, 2009	BIG MEMORY CARD - COULD BE BIGGER Garmin continues to underequip its GPS units in the memory department. You can outdrive or outfly 128mb worth of maps in a few hours, necessitating an in-progress GPS update. Definitely not the best way to do business. 512 Mb should be the standard card, especially if you're buying a unit costing +$1K, with upgrades to 1, 2, and 4 Gb available. Pros: drop it in and you're all set! Cons: could easily use a larger capacity. Recommend: YES 87 viewers found this helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Laurent Dowling, Ontario April 16, 2009	I'VE SEEN CHEAPER MEMORY I think Garmins memory is way to expensive, and not particularly fond of the way the memory is recognized by the GPS, very little control on what types of maps you can load. Pros: it works Cons: too expensive Recommend: YES 74 viewers found this helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

PJBaker Nevada April 7, 2009	WORKS GREAT for a proprietary card that is. Recommend: YES 85 viewers found this helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Randy Winnipeg, MB March 24, 2009	GARMIN MEMORY CARD Great product as described Recommend: YES 85 viewers found this helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Willowaw Loveland, CO January 21, 2009	LOAD ALL THE MAPS YOU NEED, AND THEN SOME This is a must have addition to get all the maps a person might need. I loaded all I needed for City Navigator and still had room. If your unit can use this, get it. Shop the internet but you will not find it any cheaper than at GPSCity. This was exactly what my Garmin 276C needed. Pros: must have for units with limited memory Cons: proprietary and limited units that can use this. Recommend: YES 112 viewers found this helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Tony Savage Christchurch January 2, 2009	YES, 276C COMPATIBLE Hi Clinnet, yes, the 512MB card is suitable for the 276C according to the Garmin product page here: https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=693#productTab Any Garmin map should display OK - I've used these cards with 3rd party maps OK too. The card can only ever rate a bad score as it's proprietary and vastly overpriced - even with the much reduced price at present. Recommend: YES 151 viewers found this helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Clinnet Socal December 30, 2008	DATA CAR Q. Quick question - Is this compatible with the 276c and the Topo 2008 Map? Looking above with the heading Compatible Garmin GPS units, it does not read GPSMap 276c. Thanks. Recommend: YES 141 viewers found this helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Renier November 16, 2008	GARMIN 512MB CARD It is a pity that a great GPS unit such as the 276 needs proprietary memory cards (with limited capacity) such as this whereas the "lessor" gps units use generic cards such as a SD etc. Recommend: YES 152 viewers found this helpful.
