Digital camera reviews of Lowrance iFinder H20 C Plus 2.83-Inch Waterproof Marine GPSDigital camera Review: H20C, one star because you can't give it no star Summary: 1 Stars
I have an iFinder H20C which I received for Christmas last year. It has operated MAYBE 12 hours and now has quit working, the satellite location does not translate to the map page. Several resets later it still doesn't work.
I enquired by email a month ago about service after spending the afternoon on the phone to no avail.
Today I received a reply. Lowrance wants a flat $149.95 plus $12.50 shipping and handling to repair the unit.
I am replacing the unit with a Garmin.

Digital camera Review: Lowrance H2O C Summary: 4 Stars
Purchased 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.
Digital camera Review: Lowrance iFinder H20 C Plus GPS Summary: 5 Stars
The 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.
Digital camera Review: Other Bad Reviews Are Correct! Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this item several weeks ago excited about the Plus Package with mapping software, memory card, and memory card reader. I had received the item quickly but had quickly found that I had received the standard model and got in contact with Amazon. After speaking with them for almost an hour, the lady had told me that she was sending me a replacement with the CORRECT items. This was made clear and I needed to then return the item I had received. FIVE DAYS LATER, I received the EXACT SAME THING I had received before. Standard item with no plus package. I had called again and after a long explanation of them confused about their own explanation on the website I asked for a refund. Now a few days before my fishing trip I am without a GPS with mapping software that I was needing. Terrible customer service, and she let me know that i wouldn't receive my money for probably a week. Never buying again.....
Digital camera Review: Serious bugs and no tech support Summary: 1 Stars
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.
