Title: Very good for 3 years - then expensive paperweight
Product review: Bottom line: Steer clear if you expect a piece of equipment that lasts more than three years.I'd have given this a four-star rating up until a month ago. That's when it passed its third anniversary of use. And stopped finding its location. It'll operate absolutely normally in every regard; displaying maps, finding satellites and positioning them in the sky; compass works; barometer works; in short it will do everything except its primary function.Lowrance customer service has been notably unresponsive except to finally tell me that they want $150 just to look at it.Some internet surfing reveals that this is an epidemic with this model and similar Lowrance models. They simply go belly-up in this fashion after three years. My personal suspicion, unsubstantiated in any way, is that they are programmed to cease their primary function after three years since turn-on.Anyway, now I have to get another GPS for hunting, and it won't be a Lowrance.
