Comments about Lowrance Lowrance iFinder® H2O C Handheld GPS:

This is a great product. Fun to use and accurate. It's great for going offshore to find wrecks and good fishing spots. I bought it for the safety aspect. Although we go just a few miles offshore it's good to know exactly where you are just in case you break down. With the exact gps coordinates you can have someone come right to you.

Comments about Lowrance Lowrance iFinder® H2O C Handheld GPS:

I already have a good depthfinder, but explore barrier islands and new creeks in my flats boat, and wanted a GPS mapping device that could guide me back home when the fish carry me to strange places. I have owned 2 GARMIN's (overall decent units, but had unacceptable electrical problems with both). I was seriously considering another GARMIN GPS Map handheld, and happened to stumble upon the iFinder H20. The screen is large enough to be clearly visible, and with the Inshore SD card, provides beautiful mapping. The menu's are very intuitive, and the screen has fantastic clarity.
My only gripe with this unit is with the aesthetics and the flimsy battery door. The glossy blue color and cheesy graphics could be improved, but this is nitpicky. I would highly recommend this unit; an incredible value for the price.

Comments about Lowrance Lowrance iFinder® H2O C Handheld GPS:

This is a great unit. I am a professional boat captain and use this regularly when I transit the Chesapeake Bay. The unit is very accurate and easy to use. The only con is that it does eat batteries when using the back light. I also use this when I vacation at the lake and want to take a night cruise. Gets me back everytime!

Comments about Lowrance Lowrance iFinder® H2O C Handheld GPS:

Consumers should avoid this product and Lowrance. Serious bugs cause this product to reboot when certain key sequences are pressed. After 3-weeks of trying to contact Lowrance technical support by phone (a total of 2 hours on the phone waiting to be helped) and E-mail I have given up and will return the product for a refund. A very dissipointing experience.

Comments about Lowrance Lowrance iFinder® H2O C Handheld GPS:

A wondeful piece of wizardry,I give everyone who comes on the boat a demo ,love the information about marinas v.useful,the idea of moving the crosshairs to identify bouyage is great.Can't say enough good things about it,I discover something new with it everytime I switch it on(fact is might have to go up to the boat to play with it ,should have brought it home with me ,never realised I would suffer such separation anxiety!).I recommend buying this great item to anyone who has any interest in knowing "where the hell are we" .Very affordable would make a great gift for all the adventurers out there.
