1. The unit arrived in good order. Am still working on the operating manual. This GPS has many options to set up and different ways to connect to a vehicle. It will take some time to take advantage of all it has to offer.



2. Loaded with lots of information. Would be easier to use if touch screen. Marine lake detail did not include my favorite lake which is the second largest in its State (44,000 acres). Bummed since I could not find a list of the covered Lakes at the Garmin site.

4 comments about Lowrance iFinder Go2 GPS - Red.

1. I just needed a GPS that could use UTM coordinates ..the Go2 and a competitor both were able to and the price was the same. The only real difference is that the Go2 had maps with cities, streets, exit signs, lakes included (hard coded into the system and no capability to add or change or update) and the other GPS unit did not.
   
   The Good: Use is easy. Works pretty good when going for a walk. Kept showing the direction in which I was walking and accurate. Can set a lot of waypoints and has a decent amount of memory. Great price.
   
   The Bad: While Go2 can access the satellites from inside my home, it can't through the thin sheet of metal that is the roof of my car. With street maps, highway exits, and other automobile-like features I was disappointed that it didn't work inside the car at all. Hold the Go2 out the window and we were back in business (can imagine a few tickets having to use it this way). The other negative thing I noticed is that it locked up on me a couple times. Both times while moving the cursor. The power button didn't even work at this point and had to remove a battery to reset the unit.
   
   Overall, I like the price and the features, but I'm not sure about it's usability, especially in the car.



2. This unit seemed to have the best standard lake shoreline maps compared to Garmin and Magellan units I've tried. It is great on batteries and meets nearly all our needs. I'd love to be able to upload waypoints, but none of the inexpensive handhelds allow that. For us older folk, the screen could be a lot bigger, but I guess that's what glasses are for. For our marine construction business, it is perfect. Accuracy of all the units is about the same, and operation is unique to the manufacturer you are looking at. Once you learn the screens, you are good to go.



3. Not bad for the price. This unit works as advertised and is a very useful tool. The main drawback for me is the size of the display but that would be the same for any hand held model. It would also be nice if the 12 volt power cord was included instead of having to be purchased separately.



4. This is my second Lowrance GPS. The iFINDER Go2 is a good gps for the money. It picked up the sattelites quickly including WAAS. Excellent battery life. Easy to use but the screen could be bigger. I would buy another GPS from Lowrance.

1. I gave this gps as a gift but the reciepient loves it. The only disappointing feature was that when getting directions for somewhere it does not tell you to turn left or right or anything like that. It just shows a map from point a to point b. Not a huge big deal but for people like me who cant read a map to save a life, this was a disappointment. Other than that no problems.

1. Have used this only a couple of time and it works very well in the areas I have tried. Would buy this product again.



2. It is the most affordable color handheld GPS. Unfortunately that is it's only major plus. The world basemap has almost no streets [they should have just provided a more detailed North America]. It's supposed to be a marine-oriented unit, but the lack of nautical waypoints and features is upsetting [it has fewer than my non-chart Garmin 72]. Whole islands are missing here in the Florida Keys, an official channel that has been here for decades with markers is marked private with no details, wrecks are identified as "partially submerged" when they are 65 feet below. No tide computation feature [even the Garmin 72 has that]. Pluses are that it updates quickly, has decent battery life, and is relatively easy to use [although it should be simpler -- they took a land-based unit and slapped the "marine" title on it].



3. This Lowrance GPS receiver has all the features needed for geocaching. Aided by topo mapping software, this device will lead you to any spot you want. To get the same features in other brands, you would have to spend more money. Also, the car adapter comes with the device whereas it is a separate purchase in other brands. We have used it extensively and never had a problem. It acquires the satellites quickly and keeps the signal under adverse conditions such as tree cover. The only small problem is that the road map overlay may be off in some areas by several yards. This is not a big concern since it's the topographical accuracy that is important. This model doesn't have an electronic compass or altimeter; however, for just a little bit more money you can get these features in a Lowrance Expedition C. Not a big deal for most folks.



4. Hello I live in Costa Rica. I need the GPS. I would like these incluide de Map of Costa Rica and Latin American??



5. We purchased the Lowrance iFinder H2Oc GPS with some Navionics maps on an SD memory card. We used new Lithium AA batteries with the unit.
   
   Our purpose for purchasing the unit was for use in navigating waterways
   between Minnesota and Ontario, specifically the Rainy Lake region.
   
   The unit worked very well, and was very useful for navigating these rocky lakes, with many navigational hazards, such as numerous rock outcroppings, and hazards just below the surface of the lake.
   
   The only problem we encountered was a long delay in downloading/processing map information, if you chose to zoom in/out of your current display. It sometimes took 10 seconds or more for the new screen to load, and if you are using this device as an aid, and travelling across the lake at 30 or 40 knots, the delay was a little unnerving at times, specifically if the lake has a lot of rock pile hazards. And yes, the software states you should not use this device for navigation, it is only an aid.
   
   The batteries we started with lasted all week, and we used this unit extensively all week.
   
   When you arrive at your destination, you need to remember to load the specific map you will use. For the Navionics maps, you will also need to
   know the abbreviated file name for the area you want to view. The file names are not always obvious, so make sure you review the software to know what map to load, for the area you are using the GPS. This is a Navionics comment, so we did not add or detract from the GPS review score.
   
   That issue aside, we would probably rate this item overall at a 4.5.
   
   If you are heading to a large unknown lake, looking for navigation aids, and a depth chart, this is a great tool, and we doubt you will regret the purchase. If you are getting older, the screen is a little small, but it is hand-held, and small enough to put in your pocket or tacklebox.
   
   
   Good luck
