Lowrance Endura Outback
Lowrance - a leading navigation devices manufacturer unveils new touch-screen devices with full-featured GPS mapping for outdoor enthusiasts. Lowrance is a world-leading brand in marine electronics and GPS navigational systems since 1957, but has now announced the introduction of its next-generation handheld GPS devices. The Lowrance Endura Series consists of three innovative touch-screen GPS handhelds for the outdoor market: the flagship Sierra -- the most powerful and complete out-of-box GPS experience available, the Safari -- the most versatile navigator for any outdoor experience, and the Outback -- setting a new standard in affordability and ease of use. Offering best-in-class pre-loaded and aftermarket map content, as well as compatibility with open community content, the Endura Series elevates GPS navigation to new heights.
The Lowrance Endura Series of handheld GPS devices are the products that outdoor enthusiasts have been waiting for. With detailed on-board mapping, tremendous expansion capabilities and access to community content, the easy to use Endura line is equally suited for hiking, mountain biking, hunting, fishing, backpacking and geocaching, as well as cycling, snowmobiling, off-roading, paddlesports and skiing.
Lowrance Endura devices offer a range of preloaded maps and provide a micro SD expansion slot supporting up to an additional 32GB of storage for mapping, pictures and MP3 audio files. The pre-loaded content includes Intermap's Accuterra(TM) mapping, extensive outdoor trail networks and Points of Interest, as well as the NAVTEQ(R) road network for the contiguous 48 states with an upgrade option on Sierra and Safari for full-featured turn-by-turn navigation. In addition, Lowrance offers a full range of optional mapping content including Fishing Hot Spots(R) and other national and international map content. Fully customizable, all three models accept many public domain files and community-based content such as GPX trails and general outdoor POI's.
Fully waterproof to the IPx7 standard (submersible), the compact Endura Series offers a comfortable grip and robust housing with rubberized armoring. The devices measure 5.1-inch high x 2.3-inch wide x 1.1-inch deep (130 mm x 60 mm x 31 mm) and weigh a scant 5.8 ounces (165 grams) without two AA batteries. The handheld devices include a high-resolution 2.7-inch (6.8 cm) color touch-screen display, mini-USB port for power and data cables, and two reinforced attachment loops. All models in the Endura line are protected by a one-year limited warranty.
The Lowrance(R) brand is wholly owned by Navico Holding AS, a privately held, international electronics company. A leader in outdoor recreational GPS electronics and currently the world's largest marine electronics manufacturer, Navico is the parent company to five well-established brands: B&G(R), Eagle(R), Lowrance(R), Northstar(R) and Simrad(R). Lowrance isn’t the biggest in the automotive GPS business, but if you’re a boater, you know them.
Magellan, Garmin and plenty of other companies have outdoor GPS, but Lowrance’s focus is on building one set of devices that can be used in all kinds of activities including hiking, hunting, off-roading, skiing, and of course boating. The key is map openness: On land, it can use maps from Accuterra, Navionics and others. On the water, it takes Navionics, Fishing Hotspots and more. And for in-car use, you can load up a Navteq database. Needless to say, the openness is extended to community maps and trail guides in the Open GPX format.
The tech specs of the Endura line are similar (or better) than most of the competition: All three are waterproof to the IPX7 standard. They have rubber “armoring,” take AAs (so you don’t have to charge up in the jungle) and MicroSD cards up to 32GB, and have “attach points” so you can clip it to your jacket. Most important, the touchscreen is capable of use with gloves on or off, so you don’t have to freeze your fingers off trying to get back to base camp.
The top of the line Sierra comes not only “fully loaded” with a lot of map content, but it has a barometric altimeter and a 3D compass, plus 4GB built-in memory for your maps or even music, pics and video—not that you’d waste your storage on that stuff. The step-down Safari can play MP3s and, like the Sierra, has headphone jack and a speaker. The basic Outback has none of those frills, but similar software for doing most of the basic navi stuff.
