Whether you are casting for that big fish, hiking a trail or driving through the suburbs, it helps to know where you are and where you are going. That's when a Global Positioning System (GPS) comes in handy. There are lots of different GPS receivers. With some research, you can find the right GPS for you. Lowrance is an industry leader in manufacturing sport fishing sonar and GPS mapping tools.
Instructions
1. Look at how you will use a GPS and choose a receiver that fits that usage. Lowrance makes GPS receivers for marine use, outdoor recreational use and for aviation and automotive uses.
2. Think about what features you need on a GPS and find a model that meets those needs. For fisherman, a Lowrance GPS with fish finding sonar is a great option to let you know your location and where the fish are. For backpackers a rugged hand-held Lowrance GPS can keep you on the right track. For drivers, a Lowrance GPS can give voice and video guidance with turn-by-turn navigation.
3. Pick a Lowrance GPS receiver by considering your budget. Suggested retail prices range from about $150 for a basic hand-held model such as the Lowrance iFinder H2O to nearly $1,900 for advanced marine models such as the Lowrance LCX-38C HD Color Chartplotter/Sounder.
4. Go to Lowrance's website to find company information, product specifications, manuals, accessories and a downloadable catalog. Though Lowrance doesn't sell GPS receivers on their website, they have a store locator to point you to retailers that carry their products.
5. Shop smart by comparing prices. Check retailers for deals on refurbished and discontinued models. Consider grabbing a used Lowrance GPS off an auction website.
