I like it
Bought this unit new on Ebay for $275. First one I've ever bought. Was a little cautious due to the epinions.
Well I was pleasantly surprised. Works great. Easy to learn, I just glanced at the instructions. And had it up and running in minutes.
Have used it around town and its worked...

Difficulties with the iway 500
I have had the unit for several years and its performance continues to slide. I drove from Washington DC to Georgia on a clear day and I was only able to access the satellite for the last hour of the trip.
When I down loaded the update , all other info re lodgings,restaurants etc was deleted...

Nice looking, lacking important features.
I wrote this review for my Law Enforcement Equipment website, www.signalzero.com . This review is based on my feelings for both general and law enforcement use.
The Lowrance Iway 500c, with its large 5" touch screen, looks like a innovative products and certainly seems like the best...

Great product... for the hour it worked
The unit acquired satellites from my car initially within the first 3 minutes (roughly 10 satellites), I went inside for 2 minutes to gather my things for a brief trip around Las Vegas to test it and found that it had lost it's signal. I tried for hours with an unobstructed view to allow the unit... Read full review »
i-way 500
I absolutely hate this unit.
My daughter has a garmin and she paid approximately one third the price I did.
Her garmin gets updates right from satellites. My i-way only gets updates from my computer.
I tried to do this and the update took away the road I live on which has been here...

iWay 500c does not work -- DON'T BUY
I have problems with the unit not finding location. Returned 2 units for various problems and even the third one is still horrible -- can't find location for minutes, you usually reach the destination before the unit finds the satellites! Had troubles with the previous unit's touch-screen.

great software features but hardware is unreliable
Unless you can protect it from heat, direct sunlight and vibrations you should buy something else. I struggled with mine for 4 weeks before deciding it was too unreliable. I will probably buy a Garmin StreetPilot c550 instead (TomTom's look nice but apparently break often)

Big screen, easy to use, rugged and reliable navigator
I see many ads for new cars with voice-guided navigational systems that look handy, but since I can't afford a new car, I started looking at the car-based GPS units. I had tried another navigator before I got the Lowrance iWay, and it is much more solid and reliable. The screen is larger than most,... Read full review »
Mostly Dependable and Easy to Use
Have extensive experience with top-end Garmin automotive GPS and a variety of handhelds. The iWay is very intuitive (good for those of us that don't read the directions), responsive, and accurate. The large touch-screen is excellent and the mounting hardware they provide is high quality. No... Read full review »
Takes The Long Way
I am a computer technician and make house/business calls. While I know my town in general I get a lot of calls to out of the way places and had been using Microsoft Streets and trips along with a PDA. I did a lot of research and thought that a GPS system would be a great thing. I read a lot of... Read full review »
