Ok I saw it, and it looks good. However the way I feel about things like this is when you have something that tries to do everything, it doesn't do all those things well, usually. I like dedicated instruments for the most part. "Off road" gps, and separate "Street" gps.......

Here's the XOG for those interested:

XOG | Lowrance

I use a Lowrance Global Map 100 with DGPS Beacon Receiver (see my build-

Ultimate 100 Expedition Build - Expedition Portal Forums ).

However with what's on the market, I'd go with the Lowrance Baja 540C.

Spressomon I think just bought one and loves it. I have always had great luck with Lowrance products.

Just take it a step at a time. I have thousands of dollars in mods I want to do, and it's going to take me a few years to get it all accomplished. I'd save up and get the 540c if I were you. Don't get in a rush.
