The Lowrance iWay 350C features a touchscreen, GPS navigation, MP3 player, photo viewer, and more in a single device.

Simply pick a destination via the easy-to-use touchscreen display and you're on your way. Once programmed, the iWay 350C automatically calculates the best route and delivers turn-by-turn directions with audio and visual cues. It's more convenient than ever to view your route thanks to the three, selectable mapping displays--2D Track Up, 2D North Up, and Elevated 3D--and the sunlight-readable 3.5-inch TFT color display, whose 320 x 240 resolution is sharp and detailed. Once you approach your destination, the display's auto-zooming function kicks in to give you a more detailed look. And because the iWay 350C is WAAS-enabled, it's accurate to within 3 meters, giving you a leg up on your next Internet-based scavenger hunt.

The device isn't restricted to basic navigation, however, with such add-ons as street address searching and auto-routing functions that help you choose the most efficient route. Want to avoid toll roads on a long trip and stick to the interstate? Would you like to avoid taking left turns against busy traffic? Simply tell the iWay 350C and it will create a route that meets your requests. The unit even automatically recalculates the directions should you miss a turn.

The iWay 350C is equipped with a rugged 4 GB hard drive for high-detail mapping, along with a preloaded Navteq database with street-level maps for the continental U.S. and Canada. The database also includes more than five million points of interest, including gas stations, hotels, malls, restaurants, amusement parks, and tons more. And should the maps prove slightly out of date, you can update them via PC using the included USB cord. The iWay even goes a step further by making sure you never have to compromise on-road safety. In addition to its voice guidance function, the iWay 350C sports a Safety Passenger mode that allows a passenger to use the GPS features while the car is in motion.

The iWay 350C is also designed to help you enjoy your time on the road, even while you're in the midst of following directions. The unit accepts both MMC and SD digital memory cards, which can hold hundreds of compressed MP3 music files or JPEG photos. Even better, the iWay's built-in FM modulator plays the MP3s wirelessly through your car's stereo speakers, so you don't need to install an expensive new system to enjoy the tunes. Simply find an empty FM frequency on your radio dial and the iWay will wirelessly stream the music to the tuner. Once you're on the road, you can activate the browse, repeat, shuffle, or scan functions, or even adjust the equalizer for the best audio performance.

The iWay 350C, which runs for up to 15 hours per charge of the two internal lithium-ion batteries, comes with a 12-volt cigarette lighter adapter, a suction-cup mounting bracket, a USB cable, a protective cover, and a touchscreen cleaning cloth. The compact unit measures 4.52 by 3.54 by 2.55 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a one-year warranty.
