Lowrance iWay 600C

I've had this unit for 6 months now and I couldn't be happier. It's a little work-horse (actually the unit is pretty big). It always finds a satellite signal before I've finished backing out of the driveway. It doesn't seem to suffer from any software glitches (at least I haven't encountered any). I live in Arizona and it gets pretty hot sitting up on my dash. It's never shut down or suffered any other fault due to excessive heat. Oh yah, and its water proof so I don't have to worry about it getting wet. The touch screen interface is very intuitive; in fact I don't see how other GPS's work without them. The unit comes with a large hard drive and lots of available space for MP3s. With the FM modulator it makes for a perfect combination for long road trips. But by far the best feature is the use of satellite overlay for the maps. You get all the same road maps but over the top of the satellite image rather than the standard background. At first I just thought it was a fun lit... Read more

I have had several GPS systems. This is by far the best. It has a clear LARGE screen, it can be configured to show whatever features you want, like contours of the land, Fast Food restaurants, and/or marine items. So far I have only used it in my car, but I plan to use it on the boat this summer. It is so nice to be able to tell the system to show me the way home, from whereever I am, and it does it. It does not even get upset if I take a wrong turn. It just patiently recalculates a route to get me to where I asked it to take me. Being able to turn off the voice is a nice feature when I am the passenger and just watching what we are passing.

Although the size of the unit is large. The extra screen size allows for easy viewing. Point-to-point navigation is nice for family trips to answer the proverbial question ("When are we going to get there?). I bought the unit for the flexibility to transfer usage from the car to the boat. Suprisingly, intercoastal bouys are included as I am not a lake boater. However, the unit had some sort of software issues - the screen would freeze and be non-responsive and there were a couple of visual presentation problems. I had to send it back. For the dual use, there aren't many choices in this price range. You could spend hundreds more on a Garmin and the added marine cards.

The touch screen is very, very tempermental! Sometimes it works, sometimes you have to hit the screen multiple times. The mp3 player is horrible! Sometimes it plays through the radio ok, other time all you can hear is some scratching sounds. I will send it back to the factory for adjustment. I hope they fix it or replace it. I will never, ever buy a Lowrance product again!!!

Thank you for your business, recently I purcharsed 2 GPS by mistake, and returned one, I have to pay for almost 20% restock fee, and I have an exprience with you on behave of communication, by email, and telephone, can't get the support. Therefor, I just want to let you know I wasn't happy with your serices.
