The Lowrance iFinder Go2 displays towns, roads, and thousands of other destinations.

The navigator is so reliable that its 16 parallel channel GPS and WAAS receiver is accurate to within several meters, making it a great fit for scavenger hunts as well as hikes. Each trip is completely customizable, with the ability to create new routes, waypoints, trails, and more. You can also easily recalculate your trip route should you get distracted and lose your way, and thanks to the 64 MB of built-in memory, you can save and retrace up to 100 of your favorite plot trails, with up to 10,000 points in each path.

The device holds more than just previous routes, however. It also comes preloaded with a background map of the continental U.S. and Hawaii, with such features as coastal nav aids, wrecks, and obstructions. In addition, the device supports up to 1,000 waypoints, 1,000 event markers, and 100 routes. Users with a zest for detail will appreciate the 40 map zoom ranges (from 0.02 to 4,000 miles) and the 42 graphic icons used to mark special spots.

To top it off, the iFinder Go2’s bright yellow housing is waterproof, so you can use it in the rain or safely store it in your pack when rafting. Additional features include a two-inch amber LED backlit screen with 200 by 140 resolution, internal backup memory for storing your GPS data and settings, and a wrist-strap accessory for on-the-go use. The pocket-sized unit measures 2.12 by 5.15 by 1.24 inches (W x H x D) and runs for up to 48 hours on two AA batteries (not included).
