 Couldn't Be Happier! June 18, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
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. We wanted a secondary GPS just in case something happens to our main unit on our boat, so we can get back home. We have the Nautic path Marine SD Card and when placed in the XOG it gives us great detail of the ocean bottom, depths and any sunken hazards we need to be wary of.
The mapping system for my car is surprisingly easy to use. After a few minutes of going over the manual and playing with the touch screen, I had it up and running and it is GREAT!
I recently went to Tucson, AZ. I had never been there before, but with the XOG, I had no problem finding where I needed to go. It comes standard with lots of maps and detail and I am so pleased. I recommend this unit to any one. The only draw back is it does not have voice activation nor is it blue-tooth enabled.
But for what I use it and need it for, it gets 5 BIG STARS!
Lowrance XOG Crossover Gps April 28, 2008

Very happy with this unit. The roads seem to be up to date. I also bought a Lakemaster Gps chip. That is very cool, it shows you exactly where you are on the lake and at the exact lake depths. The only thing that would be nice for a updated model would be able to choose the shortest route verses the route that takes you out of the way just to use more state and interstate roads. Other wise very happy with the Gps.

Really Good GPS Unit April 6, 2008

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. The unit came with version 1.5 software. Lowrance had 1.7 download on their site. So the first thing I did was to upgrade. The satellite lock is very fast. It takes me right to where I asked to be every time. It gives you plenty of warning on turns and is very accurate as to where the turn is. I got the RAM mount for my bike and it worked just as well there as it did in the car. I had loaded a SD card with some of my MP3 music. While riding the bike I used the head phone jack to my helmet speakers to listen to music and navigation messages. When the unit needed to give me a navigation message, it halts the music, tells me what it needs to tell me, and starts the music again where it halted. Very seamless. The directions are clear and easy to follow even if you are not looking at the screen.
The cons for this unit: The battery does suck. About two hours is all it will carry the unit. Not much of a problem for me as most of my use is with external power connector. The screen does wash out in bright sunlight. Its still viewable, but you'll have a hard time reading the fine print. Overlays are configurable as to print size, which helps a lot.
As to performance and price. I would recommend the Lowrance XOG.
 Buyers remorse too! April 6, 2008

I purchased this GPS as it had marine maps for us to use along with roads. In first 2 uses I was given blatant wrong directions that resulted in trying to turn into guardrail, going south on a north bound highway and a few others. Bad product for vehicle use. Maybe all the money was spent on marine/hiking stuff but not good for cars.
Lowrance XOG Finds My POI March 29, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
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. Eventually I'll buy the topo memory card, but until then, I'm happy with the XOG as is. In use, the unit brings me to my destination every time. The only gripe I have concerns the battery life, which lasts 3-4 hours. It's no problem to just leave it plugged in to an accessory outlet, so it's a minor gripe. Also, the suction cup mount is very well made and sturdy. It has 2 pivot points which adjusts nicely.
