Assuming that you have a 276C made 2006 or later you should have the same great screen as the 278. If so I would say that the 276C is actually slightly better for small roads riding than the 278 (!) The 278 is suffering from a stupid choise of colors on roads. Brown roads against brown background (??!?) Same problem as with the 60CX. The 276C has a much better color map and is therefore easier to read under difficult conditions.

Thanks for the info. I'll order one.

Edit: I's not possible to order from them. "The transaction resulted in an AVS mismatch. The address provided does not match billing address of cardholder." Nonsense - but what can I do about that?
