Anyone else have anything that has tracking capabilities?

 

This thread has loads of useful information. I really wasn't in the market for a new GPS (I have a 5 year old Garmin eTrex Vista that has served me well), but I think maybe I should get the Lowrance. For the money, I don't see how you can beat it.

Cabelas has the XOG right now for 149.00 plus 20$ off any order of 100$ or more. Im ordering one.

 

Talk about Lowrance salesmanship! I'm almost completely sold..

I don't think anyone mentioned this, but the Garmin Trail guide is completely waterproof. So depending on where you are using it, may be a very useful thing. However, you will pay for that feature as well as the very slick look that comes with the Jeep speaker mount.

If I had the disposable income I would probably go with the Garmin unit just for the slick look and speakers you can't get anywhere else.... Unfortunately, I work for the Fire Department and NO ONE there has a disposable income... The Lowrance XOG may just win out this race.

 

I found a decent write up comparing the Lowrance XOG and Magellan Crossover.

We use a garmin 60csx. It does have tracks, shows you were you have been and can follow your tracks out. Great feature.

 

If you havde a laptop, check out Microsoft streets and trips. About $130 and you get a huge screen(laptop). I use it for work, but it has a tracer that can be set to show where you've been.

 

This is a post update for #32... I have the Magellan, and here are some of the mapping features....
