What is the Difference Between the
Modes?
The 276C Plus provides four usage modes. You can use the mode
that best suits your needs at the time. Data fields, the page sequence,
and other settings vary between each mode.
Powerboat Mode
Powerboat mode is mainly for use when you are operating a boat
with a motor. Powerboat mode focuses on Go To operation, meaning
you can find an item and go to it. Powerboat mode is very similar to
Sailboat mode.
Sailboat Mode
Sailboat mode is for use when you are operating a sailboat. It
focuses on route navigation: you can create a route and then navigate
it later. A sailing timer is available on the Compass page when you
are in Sailboat mode. This timer could be used to keep track of when
you need to tack next, or it can be used in a
sailboat race.
Automotive Mode
Automotive mode is for when you are driving an automobile on
streets or highways. The 276C Plus automatically generates turn-by-
turn routes to a specified location.
Off Road Mode
Off Road mode is for use when you are driving an off-road vehicle,
such as an ATV or snowmobile. The 276C Plus automatically
generates routes to your selected destination, but the route will
not follow roads. Off Road is also very similar to the operation in
Sailboat and Powerboat modes.
Which Mode Should I Use?
The mode you use is entirely dependent upon what you are doing.
If you are driving a car and need turn-by-turn directions to your
destination, use Automotive mode. If you are cruising in your
trawler, you may want to use Powerboat mode. The choice is yours!
You can even customize a mode to perfectly suit your needs.
