Who in Lowrance GPS Electronics?
By Jimmy MacLeod

Lowrance Electronics is an innovative, booming company in the United States that designs, manufactures and sells GPS, aircraft and sonar equipment. GPS and Lowrance have been partners for a few years now, but it was sonar that founder Carl Lowrance dedicated his time and dreams toward in the beginning. Determined to provide customers with the very best in the industry, he cut the ribbon on Lowrance Electronics in 1957. An avid fisherman, Carl Lowrance discovered using sonar to locate schools of fish made catching them almost a guarantee.

In 1959, they introduced the “Little Green Box” to the world. This portable sonar unit quickly became the most popular, literally, in the world. The operation was moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma and the Lowrance business worked tirelessly to keep up with the demands of the market. Lowrance Electronics and GPS technology would find each other soon enough. The first automatic depth sounder made its way to the stage in 1979. Their first Liquid Crystal Graph stormed the market in 1985.

In 1991 the first Lowrance GPS receiving devices were unveiled. By infusing its own uniqueness with Rockwell GPS, Lowrance Electronics gave the market another amazing product like nothing else the competition could even dream up.

That Is Some Good Stuff

Not even five years passed before Lowrance Electronics was shocking and wowing the crowds once again. In 1996, Lowrance dazzled them with a 12 channel hand-held GPS unit. The best part was the price; well under $200. By the next year Lowrance was taking GPS to new heights with a hand-held sized GPS aviation unit. Complete with full mapping capabilities, this bad boy was a first in the industry. Lowrance also introduced GPS mapping cartridges, making it possible to see all lakes, ponds, and rivers in the continental United States. More hand held GPS accessories and mapping software products were released in years following.

For fishermen, hunters, outdoors men, or anyone who like gadgets, Lowrance Electronics has you covered, more so than any other company in the market. You can deck your boat out with the latest in sonar and GPS, or global positioning system technology. Catch the most fish in the best spots, along with bragging rights and enough great fish stories to write a book, or blog. And never get lost, or not know where you are at any given time. Lowrance can outfit you to look like you know exactly what you are doing.
