For Offroading Nothing Else Comes Close

Review Date: January 5, 2008

Reviewer: DWPC, Ventura, CA United States

I've waited to buy GPS for my vehicle because I wanted something that would provide good auto-nav for trip AND be useable on 4x4 trails and fire roads. The Lowrance XOG is, for under $250 street price, a super value. For those wanting a auto-nav vehicle GPS to use offroad, its optional maps make it the only game in town (unlike the competition who's detailed mapps are still vaporware). I won't say much about the normal auto-nav beyond the onboard maps being accurate, a large base of points-of-interest, and easy to use. Voice commands are clear and the interface isn't complicated. Its "normal" use is probably par for units in its price range. The BIG deal for the XOG is the ability to use optional maps from Lowrance's MapCreate software, and 1:100,000 BLM maps, close-up detail 1:25,000 USGS Topographic Quad maps (scanned), and even satellite photo images; all from Lowrance MapSelect webpage, and even Lowrance fishing maps of lakes for boat use. It overlays the road data over the option maps and you can turn them on/off with the menu. Its notable that Lowrance has a long and solid history in marine electronics. The optional maps are loaded on a SD card (not supplied). Though at $5/map, they could get expensive for large areas, but two or three will cover a lot of trail country. I've used the USGS maps and they cover roughly 6x6 miles (in great topo and landmark detail). Anyone who has used USGS topo maps will instantly recognize the quality of the higher resolution details. Though they're scanned images, they don't look it. Satellite images are smaller area. The XOG records your track, which can be downloaded, and you can designate trip routes. I also found Lowrance support to be very good (and domestic). It also plays mp3s through its speaker (not exactly hi-fi) and will diplay jpeg pictures if they're loaded on a SD card. Downside: for out-of-vehicle use, the battery is only good for 2-3 hours, though there are external AA battery packs; visiblity in bright sun is marginal (but par with similar touchscreen units), and the operating instructions though adequate and clear could provide more info. Updated June 2009: My XOG has been dependable and I still think it's a great compromise for travel nav/offroad use. Alas the market didn't agree and Lowrance dropped it.
