Lowrance XOG Road-Trail-Water GPS
The Lowrance XOG is a unique and reliable crossover navigator that works very well for regular street navigation. Its name is a bit unusual, but it is a very terrestrial device for finding your way anywhere in the United States. It contains street level maps for the US for turn by turn or straight line navigation using the three screen settings. You can change the screen so the map shows a top down view with north always pointing toward the top of the device, and a 3D view that is handy for driving to a certain address.
The Lowrance XOG has a lot of nice features including the Crossover design that enables navigation other than street and maps for driving. You can download maps or use ones that come preloaded on an SD card that include topography or lake data but these do cost an additional price. You can download maps from the Lowrance website called MapSelect or purchase several other map types including lake maps for fishing, offshore/coastal navigation, and regional maps with high detail.
As a GPS navigator the Lowrance XOG is handy and very easy to use. It will help you find your way at street level with the preloaded US maps. You can find any major or minor spots, as well as street addresses, businesses and area attractions. You can even find very small streets, stores, parks and other information. The Lowrance XOG has stores, hospitals, gas stations and other places of business that is very important to have ready to find on a handheld or car mounted navigation device.
Like with many other units, you can add street addresses and store them permanently to find them again latter or just use them in the future such as planning a vacation. You can find places using the preloaded data or add your own addresses and places. Even though gas prices are currently high this would be a great way to easily keep yourself on track and find street addresses or popular attractions.
The Lowrance XOG enables you to add street addresses at the comfort of your home using the simple to use Find an Address feature or enter the pages of preloaded attractions, gas stations, lodging, restaurants and several other categories. When using the find feature it will calculate the nearest places in the chosen page and category for a list of destinations. Each page of destinations will be broken down by categories just like restaurants that will have Asian, Barbeque and even Banquet Rooms and so on.
The addresses can be saved for future use and you can even use the built in voice or silent turn by turn navigation to find the place you want to go to. Using the turn by turn or direct line navigation can help you find the place easily but you may want to check the route the navigator comes up with before starting out. Sometimes routes may have natural obstacles or road obstacles such as one way streets and ramps that only go a certain direction or other things that make finding a particular address difficult.
When you are typing things like names it will wait for you to get a few of the letters up and then list all the names using that information to make typing faster. But there is more! You can carry it around and use it for a portable music player and picture viewer on those trips as well. It makes a quick and convenient way to show off a few pictures to friends or family once you arrive at your destination and to have a portable music player that sounds pretty good.
You can also connect headphones or speakers to the unit using the 3.5MM audio connection as well as connect it to a cars audio system if yours has an audio in on the radio/CD player as many now do. The audio or music from the player comes out the small internal speaker that is a bit faint and would probably not work well for something like a party but if you connect a pair of headphones it sounds really good, just like a regular MP3 player.
The Lowrance XOG has a 1000 point storage capacity for addresses so you have plenty of space to store spots like vacation points or even hiking spots. The nice thing about the Lowrance XOG is the internal battery that is rechargeable and lasts a good long time. You can remove the unit from your car, go on a hike or walk and use the XOG for a quick navigator or to pick spots for a nice route log. The unit will start to recharge as soon as you connect the USB cord to your computer or your cars battery through the car power adapter.
The Lowrance XOG package includes the unit, built in map system, a mount device with suction cup, a plastic mount using tape, a car adapter and a mini USB cable for connecting to your computer. The XOG can be mounted on a bicycle or other vehicle using various mounts also available from Lowrance as well as used with the various downloadable maps or preloaded ones on SD cards.
The Lowrance XOG Crossover Navigator is a nice handheld and vehicle mounted navigator using GPS accuracy and a huge database to keep you from getting lost and to find your destination no matter what it may be. It's highly recommend for an easy and simple to use navigation system that is pretty affordable for a car GPS unit.
