Lowrance just put up a new product on their website called XOG. Lowrance XOG is a crossover GPS navigation system that promises to be useful in your car, boat, or on the trail. In terms of hardware XOG is pretty standard but you’ll be happy to hear that this device is built tough and is also waterproof (IPX4). It has a 3.5″ 16-bit color touchscreen display with 320×240 resolution, 12-channel GPS antenna, SD memory card slot for expanding maps, and built-in speaker.

Let’s see what makes XOG a crossover device: First off it uses Navteq maps for street navigation and comes with over 3 million POIs. It also supports other plug-n-play maps from Lowrance such as FreedomMaps, Fishing Hot Spots PRO, LakeMaster ProMaps, etc, making it useful for fishing. Not to mention you can also download U.S. satellite and aerial imagery, enhanced USGS topographic data, and BLM mapping from online mapstore which can come in handy when you are hiking an unfamiliar area for the first time. When there are no roads XOG can be used a straight-line navigation device too.

No word on pricing just yet. It’ll be available ’soon’ the website says.
