Default Lowrance iWay 600c

anyone ever see this or try it?
Lowrance iWay 600c Transportable GPS Navigation System

The Lowrance iWay 600C is the most complete Auto and Marine unit. It has a waterproof design that allows for use in your car, on your motorcycle or on the water. The iWay 600C has a 12 channel WAAS GPS receiver for location accuracy to 3 meters. View your location on the brilliant 5” high-resolution color touch screen display, even in bright sunlight. The iWay 600C lets you choose between a 2D or 3D map view. The pre-loaded Navteq road maps provide street level detail and addresses inside US and Canada. It has 5.5 million points-of-interest, including hotels, restaurants, gas stations and more. Just put in the address or Point-of-interest you want to go to and the unit will guide you with voice turn-by-turn directions. Don’t worry if you miss a turn, the iWay 600 will recalculate your route and get you back on track. For coastal detail, Lowrance has loaded the 600C with highly detailed NauticPath marine charts, 3,000 inland lakes, rivers and coastal waters with depth contours.

Default RE: Lowrance iWay 600c

Can't speak for the 600c. I do own the Lowrance 500c. I think it is a great GPS for a bike. I have never had an issue with it, great easy to read size, touch screen works with gloves. Yada, Yada, Yada. But I know MANY people have had problems with the 500c. Lowrance always took care of the issues but when you have to send it back many times it would get kind of old. I know of one guy that had it replaced at least 9 times.

If I were buying again I might consider the 600c but I would spend a lot of time googling as much info from users as possible. Just like you have started here.

Good Hunting.

I had a Lowrance, don't remember what model. I spent hours trying to figure out how to use it; very complicated. Finally returned it and got a Garmin 60CX. I was using it in 20 minutes.My brother-in-law had a Lowrance also; after several hours he threw his in the drawer and gave up. Lowrance seems to be more of a boating GPS. Not sure when you will be riding on inland lakes or rivers.

I have a 500c. It is a great piece and although very heavy, the handle bar mount works fine. I don't believe there is another GPS with a screen that is so customizable to your liking.

Highly recommended.

Curious, that site doesn't even list most (any?) of the units that seem to be popular here and on other motorcycle related forums/communities.
