• Maps pre-installed on hard drive • Music and navigation work simultaneously • Large, responsive touch screen • Amazingly sensitive GPS antenna...• Not particularly portable • Must be plugged in to transfer music from a PC...Lowrance iWay 500C Review by LAPTOP Magazine......
Lowrance iWay 500C Automotive GPS Unit Review
The iWay 500C is a pre-loaded, plug-and-go vehicle navigation system with an extra 10GB of memory for MP3 files...Using a cigarette power plug and speaker, the iWay 500C guides you with both verbal and visual directions...It gives you a good sense of the character of the route ahead, and should be very helpful at night...Other than these two items, we give the iWay 500 a "Very Good"...
PDAStreet: Hardware Reviews: Review: Lowrance iWay 500C Gets You From Here to There
And you can't actually work with it when you're on foot because the only battery the iWay 500c uses is the one in your car: it mounts on the dashboard and plugs into a cigarette lighter or vehicle power supply...The speaker on the cigarette lighter power cable is adequate for listening to spoken directions from the iWay navigation software, but sounds like a bad transistor radio when...

Lowrance IWay 500c : Is After-Market GPS Up to Driving Speed?
The Lowrance device's most obvious feature is its bright five inch TFT display...Like the Roadmate, the iWay 500c runs on a proprietary operating system...The drive offers about 10 GB of space for map data, and the other half offers space for about 3,000 music tracks to feed the integrated MP3 player of the iWay 500c...One of the big advantages of hard drive based navigation...
