The
new, Generation 2 series of multi-function displays are a revolutionary
step forward in fishfinding and navigation-electronics innovation.
Featureing lightning-fast chart redraw, they combine the legendary,
best-in-class Lowrance technology, fully integrated weather and radar
solutions and an attractive case design that is more convenient to
install. Plus, a new easier-to-use operating system simplifies access to
frequently used (and more advanced) features, to enhance your boating
pleasure and fishing success. For building an onboard system, HDS
provides a truly advanced definition in multi-tasking compatibilities.
Multifunction GPS Chartplotter
This
excellent space-saving choice in the new HDS line of performance
multifunction chartplotters is the ideal choice for installation on
smaller boats. Its exclusive, high-resolution 8.4” 16-bit color
SolarMAX™ PLUS display with adjustable backlighting makes it a viewing
wonder, day or night. To precisely find your way, a new high-sensitivity
16-channel GPS+WAAS antenna is built-in.
Preloaded Nautic Insight Cartography
Nautic
Insight's simulated shaded relief cartography gives life-like
representations not only of the topography of the land, but of the
underwater structure as well for the entire US coastline. Nav-aids are
also included. Plus, HDS units are now fully compatible with all
Navionics® chart cards – Platinum+, Platinum, Platinum HotMaps – with
satellite imagery, aerial photos, and 3D views.
HDS Redefines ‘Ease of Use’

transducer selected, the sounder will operate either as an 83/200KHz
dual beam sonar better suited for inland use, or a 50/200KHz dual
frequency sonar for deep water applications.
High-Definition Weather
Lowrance
presents two industry firsts with HDS chartplotters: SIRIUS® satellite
high-res NOWRad weather radar and radio services via an affordable and
integrated smart antenna/module bundle, AND the first SIRIUS Inland
weather service … in addition to Coastal coverage …in two special SIRIUS
U.S. subscription packages!
Real-time StructureMap™ capability
Allows
you to overlaying StructureScan™ Sonar Imaging data and maps to create a
more life-like underwater view. (Requires optional StructureScan
module)
High-Definition Digital Radar Choices
Two
choices in Lowrance high-performance digital radar for optimal safety
in poor weather or low-light conditions, with added chart overlay
feature, are now easily networked for HDS displays via Ethernetworks.
