The trouble is When I travellately I always find my position in middle of now-where. When it does find me, it will sometimes tell me to make a u-turn. I have tried to update the software, but there is now new software for my unit. On our last vacation I stoped and purched a TomTom XL. It got us back home without a problem. I went to their web site and downloaded the newest software at no cost. TomTom updates their software every four months at a cost of $9.95. I do hope that Lowrance updates the software for the IWAY250C because over all it is a good unit. I have had my IWAY250C sence they came out.

I wish it had one for shortest or fastest routes. Is there another way to to do this. It will send you way out of the way to meet then slider criteria.

I've had my i250 for a couple of 3 years or so and it's been great even without the new updates. It's simple and it was cheap. Placing the optional antenna on the roof of my truck sped up the locating problem. Now it's only just slghtly behind. Optional antenna is $20.

This should be any easy thing to do, but Lowrance simply isn't interested in providing good customer service. They shouldn't be in the automotive GPS business if they aren't going to provide reasonably priced map updates. I tried the Navteq site, but they don't even have Lowrance listed as a supported manufacturer. My advice is to stay away from any Lowrance automotive GPS.

It is a little slow aquiring a signal sometimes however if you turn it on flip up the antenna 5-10 min before you depature you will be in good shape otherwise... I do have one complaint though, I was driving to Savannah, Ga to pick my brother from the airport and the iWay took me right into the ghetto. I thought hmm where's the plane gonna land. Anyway other than that and needing an update I am good to go. Heading to Savannah next week, wish me luck. I like the iWay 250c.

I have to assume that it has the capabibity.
