Lowrance iFinder H20 C Plus GPS (Blue)User Review: - Serious bugs and no tech support What started out as a positive experience quickly turned sour. This product has various software bugs that cause the unit to crash and reboot. In particular when "finding" an item such as a tide table. Sometimes it works but mostly it starts beeping then reboots after about 5 seconds. There are other software bugs as well which I've encountered. Now the good part....I've called Lowrance tech support three times and they have yet to help me with this problem. 1st time I waited about an hour on the phone before I was allowed to leave a message (go figure, I guess they hope you'll give up and go away). Someone called back and left a message when I wasn't standing in front of my phone and didn't bother to leave a direct phone# so....you guessed it...I had to call again and leave another message after another hour with my ear plastered to the phone. Since then I've sent 2 E-mails to them and called one last time and waited another 30 minutes to no avial. Clearly Lowrance has some serious technical and administrative issues. Is this a hot looking product with lots of features? ...sure...but trust me....its not worth the headaches and reboots when you're sailing up a narrow channel (as I was). Avoid this product and consider another brand until Lowrance decides to grow up. Very dissipointing. User Review:  - Lowrance H2O CPurchased this unit so I could find some streets on a trip to the South. This unit is better utilized in a camping or hiking mode. It does not plot a trail to an address using a street structure. It will plot a trail, but is as "the bird flies". It does have excellent battery life, and the power point adapter included is great. Buy the Plus unit because you get the mapping software and an MMC card which you will need. The built in map is only good down to 8 miles zoom in. Anything closer and you will need to have created a custom map. Quality is excellent, as is my experience with Lowrance. The mapping software is also excellent. This unit will work great in my boat as well. Mapping software is also excellent and easy to use with unit. Overall I am happy with it. User Review:  - Lowrance iFinder H20 C Plus GPSThe display is outstanding, even in bright sunlight. The night viewing feature is great for driving at night as well. Although I haven't learned how to use any of the advanced features yet, I navigated myself around the middle of the desert while off-roading with only a cursory introduction to this GPS device. My only (minor) complaint is that the rubber boot that covers the cable connector on the bottom doesn't want to stay put. Highly recommended.
