Overview
 
Sets the Standard in Affordable Ease-of-Use in Outdoor GPS Navigation
  • Operate intuitively with color touchscreen, straight forward menus and “hot key” physical buttons.
  • Upgrade with additional outdoor content any time you wish for many specific activities through download or plug-and-play micro SD cards.
  • Add shared web community content including routes/trails, POI’s, elevation data, etc. in GPX format through drag-and-drop to the device.
Smartly designed for easy, out-of-the-box use, the Outback’s straightforward menu makes navigation simple. Its large color transflective touch-screen allows for easy viewing and operation, and its pre-loaded mapping content with detailed hill shading, topographic contours, primary roads and key Points of Interest (POI) provides accurate and realistic situational awareness. Outback is also easy to customize, including a recording option that saves trails and routes allowing quick recall or sharing, a geocaching application compatible with Geocaching.com and power standby to conserve battery life as well as provide ultra-fast startup. The Outback supports Lowrance’s full range of optional mapping content including Fishing Hot Spots and Lakemaster charts, as well as national and international maps, and sport-specific content. Like all Endura handhelds, the Outback accepts public domain files and community-based content such as GPX trails, routes and general outdoor POIs.
