good GPS for the money Jul 21, 2008
This is my second Lowrance GPS. The iFINDER Go2 is a good gps for the money. It picked up the sattelites quickly including WAAS. Excellent battery life. Easy to use but the screen could be bigger. I would buy another GPS from Lowrance.
useful and economical Aug 23, 2007
Not bad for the price. This unit works as advertised and is a very useful tool. The main drawback for me is the size of the display but that would be the same for any hand held model. It would also be nice if the 12 volt power cord was included instead of having to be purchased separately.

 Best bang for the buck. Apr 19, 2006
This unit seemed to have the best standard lake shoreline maps compared to Garmin and Magellan units I've tried. It is great on batteries and meets nearly all our needs. I'd love to be able to upload waypoints, but none of the inexpensive handhelds allow that. For us older folk, the screen could be a lot bigger, but I guess that's what glasses are for. For our marine construction business, it is perfect. Accuracy of all the units is about the same, and operation is unique to the manufacturer you are looking at. Once you learn the screens, you are good to go.
 Nice price, but can use some improvements Dec 23, 2005
I just needed a GPS that could use UTM coordinates ..the Go2 and a competitor both were able to and the price was the same. The only real difference is that the Go2 had maps with cities, streets, exit signs, lakes included (hard coded into the system and no capability to add or change or update) and the other GPS unit did not.
The Good: Use is easy. Works pretty good when going for a walk. Kept showing the direction in which I was walking and accurate. Can set a lot of waypoints and has a decent amount of memory. Great price.
The Bad: While Go2 can access the satellites from inside my home, it can't through the thin sheet of metal that is the roof of my car. With street maps, highway exits, and other automobile-like features I was disappointed that it didn't work inside the car at all. Hold the Go2 out the window and we were back in business (can imagine a few tickets having to use it this way). The other negative thing I noticed is that it locked up on me a couple times. Both times while moving the cursor. The power button didn't even work at this point and had to remove a battery to reset the unit.
Overall, I like the price and the features, but I'm not sure about it's usability, especially in the car.
