This is my point

I have a GPSmap 276C

I want autorouting plus technical navigation features plus standard
memory - all reasonable

Garmin can give lots of options for the first and the last
requirements but all in a dumbed down package

Reasonable is fine, but if the product doesn't exist, reasonable
doesn't matter.

I detest the stupid proprietary Garmin cards, but if that was the only
thing holding me back from an otherwise perfect-for-me product, I'd get
over it, bite the bullet, and go for the product with the right
*functionality* that I need.
