I'd agree, a 276 is a great machine, decent sized screen and dedicated buttons - If I could find one at a decent price I'd probably have one too!

However, another good option if people are looking (and you can't find a 276) is the Garmin 2610 - similar display and customizable features/fields, but not 'cartoon' as you put it. It uses CF cards for memory storage, so you can typically upload the whole of Europe/USA etc - or have a series of cards for different countries... The touch screen works very well (and intuitively) with or without gloves, and is water and shock proof etc. The screen is a good compromise size without the unit itself being too large, and ideal as a motorcycle 'dashboard' on a more basic [enduro style] bike. The only [possible] downside with the 2610 is that it has to be powered either by the bike/vehicle or a mains adapter - if it also took batteries, I'd say it would be the definitive on-bike GPS...

I've also just bought a Garmin 60CX which will also display City Navigator etc in colour too, however, while it too has dedicated buttons for zoom, menu, find etc, the screen is rather small on those 60 series units. I've bought it primarily as a readout device/compass for my rally bike, but which can still display roads and points of interest on the moving map...
