Lowrance iWay 350C, first Consumer reviews.

Since our first post about the Lowrance iWay 350C a couple of mini reviews have been posted from people that have bought this GPS receiver.

GRC in his comment on our previous post writes:

This is a great device for the price range. It DOES have the ability to read street names. When you turn is near it will say the direction and the street name where you will be turning. Also, the FM modulator works very well with the radio. MP3’s and photos are easily loaded via the included USB cable. MP3’s and photos can be loaded on the hard drive (not recommended) or on a MMC or SD card. The 350c’s screens can be totally customized. You have the ability to have a transparent or non-transparent background behind the customizable information. The device is very user friendly, acquires a signal quickly (as long as you are not moving) and appears to be very accurate. I am very satisfied with it.

There is also another mini review from “Testingcar” at the forums of GPSpassion. You can read the review and the whole thread here
