WARNING: The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by
the United States government, which is solely responsible for its
accuracy and maintenance. The system is subject to changes which
could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment.
Although the Garmin GPSMAP 276C is a precision electronic
NAVigation AID (NAVAID), any NAVAID can be misused or
misinterpreted, and therefore become unsafe.
MAP DATA INFORMATION: One of the goals of Garmin
is to provide customers with the most complete and accurate
cartography available, at a reasonable cost. We use a combination
of governmental and private data sources, which we identify as
required in product literature and copyright messages displayed.
Virtually all data sources contain inaccurate or incomplete data to
some degree. This is particularly true outside the United States,
where complete and accurate digital data is either not available or
prohibitively expensive.
