Lowrance iFinder Go2 GPS Red

June 24th, 2009 GPS Reviews No comments

Lowrance iFinder Go2 GPS Red




The iFINDER GO2 is the most compact, full-featured, highly detailed 16-channel compact GPS+WAAS handheld – with 64MB of built-in memory packed full of mapping detail – for such a low price! Don’t wait to give it a GO! No other consumer GPS mapping system on the market offers so much information and so many features in one package.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Best bang for the buck.
This unit seemed to have the best standard lake shoreline maps compared to Garmin and Magellan units I’ve tried. It is great on batteries and meets nearly all our needs. I’d love to be able to upload waypoints, but none of the inexpensive handhelds allow that. For us older folk, the screen could be a lot bigger, but I guess that’s what glasses are for. For our marine construction business, it is perfect. Accuracy of all the units is about the same, and operation is unique to the manufacturer you are looking at. Once you learn the screens, you are good to go.

3 Stars Nice price, but can use some improvements
I just needed a GPS that could use UTM coordinates ..the Go2 and a competitor both were able to and the price was the same. The only real difference is that the Go2 had maps with cities, streets, exit signs, lakes included (hard coded into the system and no capability to add or change or update) and the other GPS unit did not.

The Good: Use is easy. Works pretty good when going for a walk. Kept showing the direction in which I was walking and accurate. Can set a lot of waypoints and has a decent amount of memory. Great price.

The Bad: While Go2 can access the satellites from inside my home, it can’t through the thin sheet of metal that is the roof of my car. With street maps, highway exits, and other automobile-like features I was disappointed that it didn’t work inside the car at all. Hold the Go2 out the window and we were back in business (can imagine a few tickets having to use it this way). The other negative thing I noticed is that it locked up on me a couple times. Both times while moving the cursor. The power button didn’t even work at this point and had to remove a battery to reset the unit.

Overall, I like the price and the features, but I’m not sure about it’s usability, especially in the car.

4 Stars good GPS for the money
This is my second Lowrance GPS. The iFINDER Go2 is a good gps for the money. It picked up the sattelites quickly including WAAS. Excellent battery life. Easy to use but the screen could be bigger. I would buy another GPS from Lowrance.

2 Stars gps
I bought this for geo-caching. I actually decided to go Lowrance because I have another that I use for the car and liked that one. I hate this iFinder GPS. It is so hard to use and the directions are completely confusing.

I did look into Tom Tom and theirs can used for driving directions as well as for entering the latitudes and longitudes…

4 Stars useful and economical
Not bad for the price. This unit works as advertised and is a very useful tool. The main drawback for me is the size of the display but that would be the same for any hand held model. It would also be nice if the 12 volt power cord was included instead of having to be purchased separately.

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Pretty nice set up
The unit overall works pretty well. Holds firm and looks nice. I didn’t really like the lower mounting hardware (U bolts, nuts), it seemed to be a little less than the rest of the unit, thats why I took one star, but it works OK. I would buy again for sure. Lots of positions are a plus. The biggest drawback is that the GPS made for this unit has a screen that is too small to see much when on a moving motorcycle, but of course this is not a problem with this mount.

4 Stars Works Well
Purchased this product due to the fact that I didn’t know what I really needed. The only reason I didn’t give this product a 5 star was due to the u-bolt that mounts it to the handle bars wasn’t coated with anything, so the handle bars will probable have a scratch when I take it off. The product works great for my Garmin Etrex Legend. I used it for several long rides and it was nice to be able to adjust it to any angle. This is a nice item that works well.

5 Stars Simple, Strong, and Durable.
I mounted my Garmin etrex Venture HC to the handlebar of my Yamaha XT225 dualsport motorcycle using this RAM mount.

Installation was straightforward, and the ball mount let’s me adjust to many different positions. This was really helpful, as free space is scarce on the handlebar, limiting my options for where to attach it.

This mount holds my GPS unit firmly, allowing no noticeable vibration. I even dropped my bike at 25mph when I hit a patch of ice on a dirt road, and the GPS stayed perfectly still, out of harm’s way. I am impressed.

I also like how easy it is to remove my GPS unit from the mount. When I park the bike in public, I do not want to leave the GPS out in the open for someone to snag, and removing it from this mount is as easy as pulling open the two tabs at the top.

Great product!

5 Stars Just what I needed
I’ve used two other handlebar mounts to secure Garmin GPS devices to my dirt bike’s bars. This is the first one that’s actually impressed me.

The RAM mount holds the GPS right where you want it with very little vibration.

You can quickly adjust the bracket’s arm to position the GPS wherever you want it (almost).

The mount itself (the part that actually holds the GPS) is firm enough to securely hold the GPS with no worries that it might fall out, but it’s also really simple to insert and remove the GPS. The top fingers of the mount spread apart with a little pressure and the GPS just slides out (no tools or adjustments required).

My only complaint is that the bracket’s arm swivels to any position you want, but once you have it positioned, you can’t necessarily rotate the GPS in every direction (tilt up/down, tilt side to side, and rotate clockwise/counterclockwise), so you sometimes have to compromise between the angle of the GPS and the position of the arm. The workable positions aren’t infinite, but there are enough good positions that it’s not hard to find one that’s OK.

I’m not an engineer, so I don’t know how they could improve that without sacrificing the security of the bracket arm’s connection and the ease of adjustment.

So it’s actually 4.75 stars, but I’ll give it a 5.

4 Stars Nikonuser1
It works. I could drive around with this connected to the 12V output on the car and not use the batteries in my Garmin GPSmaps 60CSx. When it came, I had a really difficult time pushing the connector onto the GPS slot. It finally started to go and after I connected and disconneeted several times it fit okay.

4 Stars Save the batteries
This is perfect for not using the batteries on your unit and just keeping it plugged into the vehicle to run it. I also use it on my bike.

5 Stars Works like a charm
What can I say. It plugs in, it works my GPS. Does what it says it will and no drama. Wish other thing in my life worked as well

4 Stars Power without batteries!
I got this Garmin compatible cigarette lighter power adapter for my Garin GPS 60CSX. It works great in my vehicle. It powers the gps unit without using up your batteries. The only complaint I have is that it will come out of the unit easily if you handle the unit to much. Other than that it great that is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 stars. It shipped quickly and got to me in a timely manner as well.

5 Stars Great Product!
I own three of these. I bought one for my fourwheeler and two more for our car and van. Why have to worry about your batteries running down when you most need you GPS?

4 Stars Perfect fit for a Garmin Nuvi 205
I purchased the Glisson GL35BC Premium Leather Case for 3.5 inch GPS. My Garmin Nuvi 205 GPS fits perfectly.

1 Star This case is not made from leather….
It is well-made BUT it is made from vinyl not like advertised. Not from “Premium Leather”. Hey, Amazon what are you doing to your customers???

Who are other reviewers saying it is premium-leather made??

4 Stars Stylish and functional way to protect a GPS unit.
This product is exactly as pictured, with no surprises. The quality of the product, including the leather and construction is very good. The only complaint that I have is that the belt clip is not removable, making it a little cumbersome to fit it in a purse or smaller space without some effort or the risk of the clip snagging. The case is hard sided, offering great protection for my Garmin Nuvi 255. The magnetic closure is a convenient way to secure the GPS unit, but the top cover is rigid and can easily become an obstacle in removing the unit while worn on a belt. The top of the sides are open, not completely covering the unit, but this is intentional to allow the power button to remain in the off position or to prevent unnecessary pressure that may break the button all together. The only thing that you need to watch out for is getting use to removing the GPS unit without damaging the power button which can easily happen if great care is not taken when removing the unit from the case. There isn’t enough room to grip the front and back of the unit with your fingers, so you are forced to remove the GPS by gripping the sides, which is why I recommend getting use to doing this gently to avoid damaging the power button or dropping the unit. Overall, I am happy with this product despite the inability to remove the belt clip.

5 Stars Gps Case
Great Leather Case. Slides over my belt. I put the GPS in the case when I leave the car.
