Lowrance iWay 350C review

The Lowrance iWay 350C is a touch-screen GPS with pre-loaded maps of the U.S. and Canada. It includes an MP3 player and photo viewer, along with an FM modulator to stream music and voice-prompted directions to your stereo.

The smaller sibling of the iWay 500C, iWay 350C has a smaller screen (3.5" vs. 5") and hard drive (4 GB vs. 20 GB). Here's what Amazon has to say in their Lowrance iWay 350C review:

"...The Lowrance iWay 350C features a touchscreen, GPS navigation, MP3 player, photo viewer, and more in a single device. Simply pick a destination via the easy-to-use touchscreen display and you're on your way. Once programmed, the iWay 350C automatically calculates the best route and delivers turn-by-turn directions with audio and visual cues. It's more convenient than ever to view your route thanks to the three selectable mapping displays--2D Track Up, 2D North Up, and Elevated 3D--and the sunlight-readable 3.5-inch TFT color display, whose 320 x 240 resolution is sharp and detailed. Once you approach your destination, the display's auto-zooming function kicks in to give you a more detailed look..."
