UPDATE: This model has been discontinued. For current recommendations, please refer to our auto GPS buyers guide.
The Lowrance iWAY 250C is a compact GPS navigator, measuring only 4″W x 3″H x 1″D. Featuring turn-by-turn directions, an MP3 player and photo viewer, the iWAY 250C comes pre-loaded with maps of the U.S. and Canada or Western Europe.
Its maps are on a 2 GB MMC/SD card, which has 40 MB free for MP3 files and photos. This isn’t quite as nice as the iWAY 350C, which has a 4 GB hard drive for maps, freeing up the MMC/SD card for entertainment.

My Machine NEVER WORKED. Tech support was of no use. DO NOT BUY, there is a chance that you will also waste your money.

Thanks for sharing that info.
Can the Iway 250 C be upgraded?

There are firmware updates, but I don’t see map updates on their site.
