FLaker Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Anyone looked at the XOG GPS unit. I am leaning toward a H2Oc, but thought I would ask the experts before making my final choice.I would mostly be using a GPS for fishing (80% hardwater 20% softwater), but occasionally for snowmobiling or hiking.FLaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerchJerker Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I think the xog is a great unit especially if you'd use it for driving / traveling (and could have it plugged in while doing it) in addition to outdoor use. But if you're talking about using it for fishing and other strictly outdoor uses I think you'd be happier with the H2OC.I carry both those units at Pro Fishing Supply, if you're interested you can check them out HERE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookingforluck Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 while I personally own an H20C, I saw one of the popular outdoor stores with all the animals mounts has a heck of deal on that XOG, just an FYI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Johnson Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I would go with the H2Oc. I've used the XOG and while it is nice, it's not as durable as the H2Oc and the XOG has experienced a few problems... not taking a charge... touch-screen not as functional in extreme cold... waterproof issues... the XOG is more designed for inside a car/truck as a navigational system, not necessarily something you would want to drag around with you on the ice...If you're looking for a behind-the-wheel navigational system then the XOG is a very nice lucrative option, but for using it outside and for mostly purposes I would go with the H2Oc...
