An observation and request

I have learned a lot from this forum and consider it top notch resource for finding the things we want to add to our GPS units. However I would like to make the observation that while the resources are available for download the instructions to do so are very vague and in some cases non-existent.

Question about Garmin 276c Chartplotter with propietary memo

I purchased a Garmin 276c GPSMAP. I understand that the memory cards are proprietary. My question is how do I send map images to it? My computer does not see the unit's drive configurations. There are no folders available to drop the the image files to.

Me and my mates exchange .gpx files for dirt bike trail rides. The other two fellows have City Navigator 2010.10. Does anyone have an unlocked version of this? If ...
