Lowrance Endura Sierra 2011

£450.00

By offering both touch-screen and keypad operation, the Lowrance Endura Sierra aims to provide the best of both worlds. So you can scroll and zoom the OS mapping by touching the screen or using the buttons, while other functions are accessed via the key pad and touch-screen icons. But I found moving the maps around wasn’t as smooth or as ...

Lowrance Endura Sierra

£383.00

This is the top-end unit from Lowrance and has been recently overhauled to offer full integration with Mapyx Quo mapping software. The unit tested had full 1:25,000 OS mapping for the entire UK on it, which is perhaps the ideal digital-mapping situation. However, the unit plus this mapping would be prohibitively expensive. In addition to the cost, the amount of ...

Lowrance Endura Sierra

£370.00

The Sierra is the award-winning, top-of-the-range member of the Endura family and as such is an all-singing, all-dancing GPS device which not only offers optional Ordnance Survey mapping (UK 1:50000 in three regions at £100 per section) but also an MP3 player, video player and microphone. Whether the latter features add anything to a walking GPS is another matter. In ...

Lowrance Endura Out and Back

£220.00

The Out & Back is a huge unit and it’s also quite heavy. It operates on both buttons and touch-screen, so no trouble in gloves or even mitts, and it boasts an excellent Direction of Travel arrow as well as a small arrow on the mapping screen, making it easy to follow a route or move between waypoints. Data transfer ...

Lowrance Endura Sierra 2010

£500.00

Lowrance released three new GPS receivers in 2009 and they tackled the interface question by offering touch-screen and conventional button access. The top-of-the-range unit is the Sierra at £500, with the Safari at £350 and the Out&Back at £250 offering stripped-down features. DesignThe boxy design of the Lowrance device sits comfortably in the hand. It is waterproof, and the rubber ...

Lowrance Endura Sierra 2009

£500.00

There was a time, not that long ago, when I felt that the map and compass would be the primary navigational tools for hill-walkers for many years to come. But the latest GPS receivers are beginning to make me think I could be wrong. Lowrance is the latest brand of GPS (global positioning system) receivers to release a range featuring ...

Lowrance Ifinder Expedition C

£300.00

To download routes, they need to be converted to the right format and loaded on to a memory card using a PC card reader of some sort (not supplied). This card is then slotted into the GPS where the route can be transferred to the internal memory. A long-winded process that spoils an otherwise easy-to-use model with a large clear ...

Lowrance Ifinder GO2

£90.00

Has limited PC compatibility via a serial port cable (not supplied). Routes can be planned on Memory-Map, but only the waypoints can be downloaded, which means the route has to be constructed manually on the GPS before it can be followed – quicker than doing the whole job by hand, but very clunky compared to some units. Outdoors, it’s nice ...

Lowrance iFinder Go

£90.00

The low price tag of this GPS receiver makes it very appealing to the walker who just needs to find a location. You get a 16 channel receiver which should in theory get you a fix and hold the fix better than a 12 or 14 channel receiver used in some other units. The 48 hour battery life makes it ...

Lowrance iFinder Go 2

£100.00

This GPS unit from Lowrance has limited PC compatibility compared to Garmin models. It is possible to download routes from Memory-Map, but it’s awkward and only the individual waypoints are recognized, so you then need to reconstruct the route by hand. Alternatively, you can simply navigate between the waypoints while you’re walking. Otherwise it’s fairly simple to use – even ...

Lowrance iFinder Expedition C

£325.00

This GPS unit from Lowrance requires that you first load routes on to a memory card on your PC, then transfer this data into the memory of the GPS unit – far too fussy. Other than that, it’s an easy unit to use, comfortable in the hand with simple menus, well laid-out function buttons and a huge and wonderfully clear ...
