My 10 year old Magellan GPS that I used to navigate offshore finally gave up the ghost . While looking for a replacement I discovered that Lowrance and Megellan make a "crossover" GPS that I could use on the streets and coastal waters. So far I have only used the unit on the roads but I was impressed with how quickly it obtains a "lock-on" with the satellites and how detailed the street maps are. from Crutchfield.com This is my 3rd lowrance. I love the way it works and the configurability. from Amazon.com I wanted to upgrade, but found marine chartplotters outragiously expensive. The new marine mapping Garmins are nice but also very expensive and so are the charts, one would have to spend ~$600 to get set up with Garmin. With this unit I paid $160 for the XOG and found Nautic Path West Coast Marine charts SD card for $87. The XOG has unique software and when accuracy was compared side/side with a Garmin Legend, the XOG was as good or better than the Garmin. from Amazon.com I've had this unit 2 days, and out of the box, I am not impressed at all. I have used a cheap tomtom one, and so far that unit ($50 cheaper) out performs this unit on the road. The lowrance routing took me out of my way and as I kept going route correction kept pointing me to the original route. It never once completely corrected the route, even as I was within 1 mile of the final destination. from Amazon.com The XOG is great! It is everything it says it is. from Amazon.com There is now way that you could follow your trail back without running into trouble. Save your money and get a Garmin.......any Garmin. My old E-Trex Legend C (now obsolete) will run circles around the XOG. I wanted a larger screen, which the XOG has, but did not know that I was sacrificing accuracy. from Amazon.com I went to MapSelect and selected a relatively small area (20mi x 20mi). The price was $325. Suffice to say, I did not buy the XOG. And had no luck contacting Lowrance. from Amazon.com We purchased the XOG to use as a cross over unit, for my car and for our boat. My husband purchased a Lowrance GPS/Fish Finder combo unit and we do a lot of fishing in Western Washington. from Amazon.com I bought the XOG primarily for use on my motorcycle and car. I've had it for a few days now and am very impressed with the unit. from Amazon.com I bought the Lowrance XOG about a month ago. The main reason I chose this model is because of the SD memory card slot, which I wanted for topographical info. from Amazon.com
