Lowrance iFINDER GO

Pros: Good price,lots of features,easy to learn, 92 page operating guide free on line.

Cons: Maybe a little too compact.

Review: Lowrance's iFinderGo(16MB) is a stripped down version of their iFinder line of handheld GPS receivers. It lacks the ability to communicate with other electronics or to save, read and store data on MMCs. It lacks an external antenna. However,it has ...

Pros: Battery life, satellite reception, WAAS accuracy, price, economical in general

Cons: Small screen, poor documentation, not very intuitive for an entry-level GPS

The Bottom Line: Good but not perfect for a GPS lover on a budget and/or a newbie to GPS

Review: I have been using a Whistler Galileo for both geocaching and in my car (though it is a handheld, it is really somewhat more car-oriented). The screen broke, and the extended warranty company is deciding whether to replace it vs. reimbursing me what I ...

Pros: Cheap, bright, tough, sensitive, excellent battery life, displays location info easily.

Cons: Fragile / easily-lost battery cover. Occasionally needs a reset to whip it back into line.

The Bottom Line: At this price and specification you can forgive its occasional moments of ill discipline. Master that RESET procedure!

Review: Cheapest decently specified GPS available in the UK so absolutely the Best Bang for your Buck available. Simply packaged with no fancy owner manual to hike the overall price (it's on CDR), it achieved a fix from cold in about a minute straight out of ...

Pros: Low Cost, Records a large number of waypoints & trails, good battery life.

Cons: No computer interface cable available. Small screen size.

The Bottom Line: Good unit for low cost, if computer interface is not needed.

Review: This is my first gps unit, and it seems to work very well. I had problems with the first unit I had, but the replacement unit has been fine. It keeps a good lock even under heavy tree cover, and I have used it in the car with a vent mounted cell ...

Pros: Fast satellite acquisition 60sec. Long battery life. Inexpensive. Great 2nd unit or for beginners

Cons: Limited mapping ability. No uploadable mapping.

The Bottom Line: Getting started in GPS and you are not sure of what you want or need, or you need a backup to your expensive primary, this is your unit.

Review: I purchased this unit at a local hardware store as a thanksgiving day sale blowout as a backup GPS. I was not expecting much but was very pleased with the performance at a price that was just a little more than the price for other GPSs' car adapters. ...

Pros: It is useful as a battery tester.

Cons: It is not useful as a GPS device.

The Bottom Line: I would recommend avoiding this particular model simply because it simply doesn't work.

Review: I was thrilled when I was given a GPS unit by my employer, rewarding me for years of service. My primary use would be for hiking... however, I've been unable to use it at all. It always takes at least 15 minutes, and usually closer to a half hour, ...

Pros: Very good price

Cons: Wont last very long it has MAJOR FAULTS!

Review: This was the first Lowrance I have bought. The thing has frozen on the first screen. I have tried all the recommended fixes none work. It is not worth the money. Upon checking other web sites I find this is a common problem with this unit. Save your ...

Pros: A lot for your money (when it works).

Cons: Freeze up after a minute or so. Zero customer service

Review: Needing a water resistant low cost, light weight GPS for a long distance trekking trip, the iFinderGo seemed to give the more bang for the buck. Out of the box, it was "stuck" in factory testing mode. Calls and emails to customer service were not ...
