New Outdoor GPS Handhelds from Lowrance
Lowrance’s next-generation handheld GPS devices are now available in New Zealand. The Lowrance Endura Series consists of two innovative touch-screen GPS handhelds for the outdoor market: the flagship Sierra – the most powerful and complete out-of-box GPS experience available and the Out & Back – setting a new standard in affordability and ease of use.
With detailed New Zealand base mapping, expansion capabilities and access to community content, the easy to use Endura line is equally suited for tramping, mountain biking, hunting, fishing, backpacking and geocaching, as well as cycling, off-roading, paddlesports, skiing – anything outdoors!
The Endura offers preloaded topographical maps of both New Zealand and Australia and provides a micro SD expansion slot supporting up to an additional 32GB of storage for mapping, pictures and MP3 audio files. The pre-loaded content includes detailed topographical charting down to 20m contours, extensive outdoor trail networks and Points of Interest (POI’s), as well as the NAVTEQ® road network with an upgrade option on the Sierra for full-featured turn-by-turn navigation.
The affordable Out & Back shares the same rugged styling of the Sierra but relies on topographical charting via the optional Micro-SD card, plus it also has limited road network detail. Fully customizable, both models accept many public domain files and community-based content such as GPX trails and general outdoor POI's.
Fully waterproof to the IPx7 standard (submersible), the compact Endura Series offers a comfortable grip and robust housing with rubberized armoring. The devices measure 5.1-inch high x 2.3-inch wide x 1.1-inch deep (130 mm x 60 mm x 31 mm) and weigh a scant 165 grams without two AA batteries. The handheld devices include a high-resolution 2.7-inch (6.8 cm) color touch-screen display, mini-USB port for power and data cables, and two reinforced attachment loops. All models in the Endura line are protected by a one-year limited warranty. The Sierra retails for $849, while the Out & Back retails for $549. For your nearest Lowrance retailer visit: www.enl.co.nz
About Lowrance
For nearly 50 years, Lowrance has been a significant brand in marine electronics. In 1957, Darrell Lowrance established the company and introduced at the same time the first portable fishfinding instrument for anglers in the USA. This quickly became a "magic box" for American anglers, and changed their fishing methods. Since this revolution for anglers, Lowrance has developed an impressive range of advanced but nonetheless reasonably priced, and easy to use fishfinders, combined fishfinders/GPS and GPS+WAAS map plotters capable of being adapted to several different markets. Lowrance are based in Norway, represented in over 100 countries and have 2,500 employees globally.
