after searching older posts it looks like garmin crippled the nmea
output on the 276 so that it doesnt connect with other NMEA devices ...
Right on Garmin!
While I'm not a big Garmin fan, that's not true.
Garmin uses NMEA 0183 via RS232 interface.
Now I will admit, in effect, that might be the same thing, but it's
not hard to make an adapter - it only requires in and out and the
RS232 spec is at the same level as NMEA.
Later,
Tom
