Lowrance iWAY 600C Combo Automotive & Marine GPS System

Details

Lowrance is serving up a fantastic new Surf & Turf combo at Tiger GPS: the iWAY 600c. For the first time, all the features of the award-winning iWAY 500c have been combined with satellite imagery and the marine chartplotter technology that has made Lowrance famous. The result is a large-screen, high-resolution display that's preloaded not only with the latest NavTeq street maps but satellite overlay phototography for major metropolitan areas and the latest marine charts as well. Drive anywhere in North America and boat down any coast - the iWAY 600c will keep you on track!

For the absolute best in location accuracy, the built-in receiver/antenna of the iWAY 600c tracks both 12-parallel channel GPS and WAAS signals, with position updates every second. A large, 5" diagonal, higher-resolution (640H x 480V pixel), 16-bit color TFT touch-screen display renders exquisite mapping detail and superb readability even in bright sunlight. Fully-adjustable cold-cathode screen backlighting offers crisp viewing to match ambient light conditions and viewing preference. Navigation and music can be configured with a few simple touches of the sensitive, yet rugged touch screen. Operation is further simplified with only 5 primary function access keys featuring high-tech, blue LED lighting.

At the heart of the iWAY 600c is a rugged 30GB internal hard drive, loaded with a wealth of mapping and charting. For the road is the extremely detailed and highly accurate NAVTEQ turn-by-turn database for the continental U.S. and Canada, which includes over 5.5 million points-of-interest to easily find fuel, lodging, dining, as well as intersections, addresses and other searchable locations. For boating, the iWAY 600c features superb MapCreate shoreline detail with over 3,000 Enhanced U.S. Lake Maps with depth contours for inland waters, plus high-detail NauticPath charts for the Great Lakes and coastal U.S. waters with depth contours, navaids, port services, tide/current data, and more.

Adding stereo music to mapping for the longest road trips or voyages, there is 5GB of free hard drive space to store audio files in both MP3 and Ogg Vorbis formats for replay. For downloading music (as well as software upgrades and mapping updates), the unit connects to a computer via the USB port and cable provided, and is compatible with PC Windows XP, ME and 2000, or Macintosh OS X. In music mode, the system delivers a complete suite of touch-screen button and slider controls, along with a frequency spectrum analyzer display. For sound output, the built-in, full-spectrum FM modulator wirelessly steams music through an open FM radio channel. When playing audio while on the road to a destination, the iWAY 600c will automatically mute the music momentarily to give audible directional commands.

In turn-by-turn mode, the iWAY 600c is an easy-to-use in-vehicle GPS navigation system, showing the motorist the way to any destination across town, or across the country with 2-D and 3-D mapping view choices. Once the destination is selected, the system automatically displays the best route in a colorful pathway, and provides turn-by-turn directions with visual and voice prompts. If a turn is missed, it automatically replots the route to quickly get the motorist back on course. The iWAY 600C speaks not only the distance and direction but also the name of the street, a feature known as "text-to-speech" since the unit will speak exactly what is displayed on screen.

In marine mode, the iWAY 600c switches to traditional straight-line navigation with up to 100 savable and retraceable plot trails in a choice of colors. Along with special marine graphic icons to mark favorite spots on the water, boaters can enter and save waypoint lat-lons as with most Lowrance marine chartplotters.

Completely sealed and watertight to prevent internal corrosion, the iWAY 600c keeps GPS data and audio safely stored for years, and features a full one-year warranty with extended warranties available.

Great unit, a little trouble getting the suction mount
to stay on the windshield. Unit is big and needs allot of room, I bought to use on my boat in addition to my car. Easy to read and use. Tiger GPS was a very good experience, great service.

Pros: Big Screen, great maps (more detail than any gps without having to purchase more software), bright screen (multi level brightness cntrl) 5G of space for Pics or mp3.
Cons: No Battery, Bigger than I thought Bulky, USB 1.1 Slow transfer 5 hrs to move 5G, I wanted to use it for audio books, but it will not list files in numeric order, any file with a 1,10,11,100 then 2,20,22,200 etc so works great for music so I still give it a 4 star...... Lowrance hint hint fix the file order

Picked up one of these for personal use on the boat and on the road. This unit is very impressive and includes everything you need right out of the box. It will record trails, mark fishing hot spots or navigate you to grandma's house.

One of two purchased, the 7200C also, and I own a i-finder and 5000C Global map. All are fine units with excellent construction. i-Way is a GREAT turn by turn unit with up to date background maps. Excellent unit for any vehicle for traveling. Easily switches from car to car, quick lock in time. Screen is good even in daylight.

Used the 600C for 2 weeks now. Very nice. I'm experienced with GPS which is good as unit is not the easiest to use. Lake maps better than my 15MT. Using in my truck, RV, and boat. Tough unit. Heavy. Looking for map updates online.

Works great once you use it a couple of times, especially the on the fly updates from the navigator function.

I understood that the 600 had satalite photos. Well it does, in certain places. I don't live in those places so I can't take advantage of the photos. I imagined myself going through the water that is ever changing and being able to see a photo of my path. I am disappointed that I can't. Otherwise it works great except for the fuse that it blew on the unit for no apparent reason.
