Of course, I have contacted them, but, as usual, they answered that
"the things are as they are because they are as is". I think they
think that the customer is always wrong.

I had more than one expererience dealing with them. They only power
the unit, see what it is showing and reply that the thing is correct,
that is, they ever do not try to interpret correctly what the manual
is saying and compare with what the unit is doing before replying your
question.

After many e-mails, if your question is not discarded imediatelly at
all, maybe it can be sended forward to their engineering dept, witch
eventualy could make a more deep analisys and pheraps corrects the
problem in a future upgrade, but you never know if/when this will be
done.

Problem with GpsMap 276C NMEA PORTS 1 and 2

According the specifications found in the Garmin Home Page, the
GpsMap 276C has TWO NMEA serial Ports (1 and 2), and these are in
addition of another USB port.

But when I set one of the two serial ports to NMEA, the software
switches the other serial port to NONE, that is, I can not have both
2 SERIAL ports,1 and 2, set as NMEA. But the manual implies that
this is possible.

The obvious question is: have you contacted Garmin about this? They do give
good support.
