I bought this aweek ago from Walmart.com for $149 site-to-store. I am very impressed with it and have reccomended it to many of my friends. Pros: Price. Very easy to use interface. Great touch screen. It is a very good GPS for dashboard and handheld navigation. Waterproof, so I can use it offshore in my boat without fear of splashing it with a little ocean spray. There are tons of maps available to purchase to go along with it, especially nautical maps, which are not available to other crossover GPS units (ie. magellan crossover). It is very accurate. Large color display. Cons: Can't manually change the route.(you can change whether or not to drive on interstates and toll roads in options, but you can't drag the route to one you prefer over the automatically generated route like you can on google maps, mapquest, etc. However there is a workaround. You just add legs to your trip to force it to go the way you want it to. I.e. If you wanted to take a scenic route and it mapped the fastest route instead, just add a few stops along the scenic route to your trip plan and it will calculate the new route so that it passes through those stops, which is only possible if it takes the road you want it to.) Can't manually type in street names.(after 1 or 2 letters it pops up a list of possible street names you have to choose from.) It would also be nice if it had an option to chose either fastest route or shortest route. It only calculates the route that it determines (based on speed limits) to be the fastest route.Read full review
works like a charm, also plays mp3 with great sound with ear phones, and stores jpg pictures. The XOG is a great GPS navigation device for the outdoors people. I love how compact it is and can fit into my pocket when I go hiking. The road navigation is fantastic as well. And the touch screen is one of the best I have seen and used. All around great product.
I like that it has the guage function that tells you exactly how fast you are going(for the cops). Also I like that I can use it on my 4-wheeler in the big off-road parks. When it gets dark its DARK!I can walk straight back to camp if I get stuck or break down. It also has on the water function so that I can use it on my big boat for a back-up. Plus I can download hot spots for fishing. I can take it with me when I fish with my buddies so that I can program their spots or share mine. When I check my digital game camera I can download the pictures on my XOG. So that I can view or edit them. No wonder they quit making these units, it does everything for a good price!
This is the 2nd XOG I purchased so I obviously like the product. Although it can function as a GPS in your car, it is better suited for other applications: boating, cycling, hiking. I have the NavTec SD card with the software for boating and fishing on a lake. There are other apps you can get for it. It does not have voice directions like other GPS units or apps on your smartphone so if that is a feature you need, you may want to choose something else. The Lowrance XOG is well designed and small in size that you can carry with your gear, and there are accessories for different mounting needs like the handle bars on a road bike or motorcycle. Overall, I give it a A rating.
I love the item and it is accurate and is easy to use. The only thing I would like better is a bigger screen, and seperate covers for the plug ins on the sides! Other than that it is a great product!
