Customer Review: Lowrance iFinder Expedition C - Awesome Unit
Summary: 4 Stars
The Lowrance iFinder Expedition C is an awesome unit, I am glad I bought it last year. However, it does have some minor issues that have downgraded it from five stars to four. Minor Issues are as follows:
1) Get a Bundle that includes the software, the card reader, and at least one card, or buy the Software and card reader and cards. It comes with maps pre-installed, but they lack detail that makes it useful for everyday use.
2) Battery life - about three hours or four hours tops with lithium cells, make sure if you do use it, bring extra batteries or use the car cigarette lighter adaptor or hahave access to it.
3) On the large side, but the largish screen makes it convenient.
4) It would be nice if the firmware allowed one to put google maps or other internet based maps on the unit. It also would be nuce if you could have standard earphone hack or usb connections with ones computer. Headphone adaptors and computer connections are an additional purchase.
5) Volume of alarms could be louder.
6) Ease of use is okay, but could be better (example would be deleting individual waypoints could be much easier)...
Sound like some major issues, not really, the unit makes up for it in many ways. Benefits of ownership are as follows:
1) Rugged - it is somewhat waterproof, ie, if you drop it in a puddle or shallow stream you will not kill it. Scuba diving, forget it...
2) Display is bright and large for a handheld unit. You can see it in bright sunlight with the light off, It has daylight and nighttime viewing modes.
3) Rich Color - is very bright and vivid.
4) Is very good for hiking and hunting, marine use, possibly even avaition, however if you want turn by turn directions, alternate routes, etc, it is not a dedicated automotive style unit. The Lowrance iFinder Expedition c is a great unit that excels for hiking and hunting, however I would say it may not be a great job for an in car use. It is lightyears ahead of a map, compass and watch, and makes getting to a destination easier but is not a great in car unit.
5) Has many advanced features, there is a lot to learn, but the features are worth the effort. ie, stopwatch, clock, barometer (also somewhat predicts the weather), trip calculator, scouting mode, etc.
6) If you are looking for a do all GPS, Buy It! It is the swiss army knife of GPS units.
7) With the Maps it is extremely useful in almost any situation requiring a map or directions.
8) Perfect for the Gadget Freak.
I have used this unit on average once or twice a weak for the past year, even without the detailed maps it is quite handy. The pre loaded maps have major expressways, and mark lakes and towns fairly well, you can set a latitude and longitude point and get to it, but get the MapCreate software, you will get much more out of it. Lowrance Electronics is an awesome company. They make great products, even used by the U.S. Navy. However, if you ask questions via the internet they do take a couple of days to respond. That is also the case of LEI, their partner company that makes the Maps and Accessories.
