The Lowrance iWAY 500C
GPS is an award-winning auto navigation system. Named an Editors Choice by both PC Magazine and Laptop Magazine, the 500C does more than navigation; it includes an MP3 player as well. With more muscle than the 350C, the 500C comes with a larger screen (5" vs. 3.5") and bigger hard drive (20 GB vs. 4 GB).
23 readers at Amazon gave the iWAY 500C an average 4 out of 5 star rating. The editorial staff at Amazon had this to say:
"The fully loaded Lowrance iWay 500C Automotive GPS+WAAS Receiver with MP3 Player not only gets you where you need to go, but it also lets you relax along the way with your favorite digital music files. Simply pick a destination via the easy-to-use touchscreen display, choose your favorite tune, and you're on you way. The iWay 500C will automatically display the best route and give you turn-by-turn directions with voice and visual guidance while you listen to your music. And being WAAS-enabled means that the iWay 500C is accurate within three meters, making it a great fit for scavenger hunts as well as road trips..."
