Replacement for Lowrance XOG GPS?

I currently use a Lowrance XOG GPS (dash/windshield mount) which has been discontinued. I love this unit, but it's not going to last forever and I'd love to replace it with a unit with similar features.

The Lowrance XOG has the capability to display current speed, elevation, miles driven, miles to destination, and other information on one screen. This info can be custom positioned in different locations and font sizes on the screen. I especially love the elevation feature especially when I'm towing. When I see the elevation starting to increase, depending on the rate of change, I can downshift accordingly without all the drama that comes with doing it at the last second. It's amazing to me how many times I think I'm going downhill, when in reality I'm going up :)

Is there a dash/windshield mount GPS capable of showing speed, elevation, miles driven and miles to destination on one screen/page without having to scroll through different screen/pages? I should add that the Lowrance XOG is a fully functional automotive GPS unit (with voice commands and realtime map displays/directions). It's not a handheld unit.

Thanks!
  • Judging from the lack of responses, I assume such a beast doesn't exist :(

    I guess my best bet is to try and find a replacment, NOS (new, old-stock) Lowrance XOG somewhere.
  • I had an Iway GPS by Lowrance that I also loved. Well it died and I have not found anything that is even close to the features that the Lowrance has. If you find anything please post it. Now I have a Rand 7720 that I'm fairly happy with but it is not close to the IWAY.
    Marry Christmas.

  • I have the Lowrance crossover for my jeep, it shows the forest service road numbers, while I "wheel" with my buddies and talk to them on the CB no other brands that they have list the FS road numbers, I also have an old Lowrance I-WAY 500 in my TV it lists all of what you asked for on one screen page, I bought mine off of amazon used
