Garmin 276C and screen in sunny conditions?
 
I have a Street Pilot III and took it out fishing on Puget Sound and the
screen was very had to see when the sun was out. I am considering on getting
a 276C because of it being able to use the Blue charts software. Is the
screen easy to see in sunlight conditions or will I have the same problem as
I do with the Street Pilot?

the 276 has a transreflectove display. so the light shining on it will
make the display (to a point) brighter.

the 276 works well in sunlight, although i find my old black and white
LCD gps is easier to read.
