Lowrance's XOG isn't the first from the company to feel at home away from the beaten path, as this 3.5-inch navigator was built to handle everything from in-car vacations to weekend treks through the forest. Sporting a rugged, weatherproof enclosure, this unit touts a 320 x 240 resolution backlit touchscreen, 2D / elevated 3D maps, a 12-channel GPS antenna, NAVTEQ maps, three million POIs, support for the firm's FreedomMaps, Fishing Hot Spots PRO, LakeMaster ProMaps and NauticPath options, an integrated MP3 player / JPEG viewer, SD expansion slot and a rechargeable Li-ion for good measure. Mum's the word on pricing as of now, but it will apparently be "available soon" and will come bundled with a device cradle, in-car mounting kit and a mini-USB cable.[Via NaviGadget]
All I know this unit has to be better than the iWay500 piece of crap I got.
It look like an updated and rugged version of the iWay 350c (similar features too). With the retail of the 350c at $500, I would expect it to retail for about the same or slightly less. And guessing about $350 for street price.
yay...another square box gps device with the same UI as everything else.
Ditto, how many more of these clones do we have to see before something innovative shows up?
If I got a dollar for every time you guys used "Mum's the word on pricing", I'd be a billionaire. You have far too many over used phrases, kind of annoying.
Damn! When is Lowrance gonna update that 1990's map gui?? I had an iWay 250 for about a day before taking it back due to my 3 year old begin able to draw better maps with a Crayon.
