Geocaching

It is a great value for the money. The signal is strong and can be picked up indoors. There may be some bounce in the woods but I believe that it is better than most GPSrs. It has a great display. Good support from Lowrance. Very dependable. Negatives: Software not as compatible with geocaching.com then Garmin. You just need an extra step or two. Information is transfered to a SD card through a card reader. It will be interesting when the Lowrance Endura becomes available in May.

We have loved are H2OC.It works great in thick cover and for the last 3 years has held up well to our abuse. Our only gripe with it is they say 12 to 14 hours battery life and we have never even came close to that,6 to 8 hours is what we get..

All-round good geocaching GPS, but missing a couple of features that would be nice... The iFinder (as well as the entire Lowrance line, I think) does not do routing. It will show you the map, but will not create a path to your destination. It also is limited to having loaded 1,500 waypoints at any given time. With removable memory available, why impose a software limit? Pet peeve. Lastly, routes are limited to 100 points, and following a trail converts it to a route, first. With my old Geko, I could follow a trail, which could be far more detailed than the iFinder is limited to. But other than those "would be nice" features, I'm very happy with it.

I like the way I can keep sets of waypoints on the SD card and load/unload them as needed. The topo map detail is great. I don't like that it sometimes takes 20 minutes to get a lock on satellites.

Great unit with great features. Size is a little bit big, but the screen is big and easy to read.
