Lowrance HDS - the second generation

THE second generation of Lowrance's High-Definition System (HDS) series of multifunction displays, is on its way.

With double the memory and twice the processor speed, Lowrance says its HDS Gen2 delivers enhanced responsiveness, faster start-up and menu operation, along with lightning-fast chart panning and zooming speeds.

The new HDS Gen2 also features StructureMap view – a powerful tool that allows users to overlay and save StructureScan sonar images on a chart for review on and off the water. Paired with the LSS-1 sonar-imaging module, users can scan images directly on a chart in real-time, or create StructureMap charts of their favorite boating, fishing and diving areas.

Offering all of the award-winning benefits of the first-generation HDS series, HDS Gen2 incorporates Broadband Sounder technology, which delivers peerless echo clarity, sensitivity and target separation to help anglers find more fish. Lowrance's unique TrackBack functionality also allows users to scroll-back in the sonar history to review structure or fish targets and pinpoint locations with waypoints – all of which is recorded to ensure valuable data is not lost.

Featuring an internal, high-sensitivity GPS+WAAS antenna, HDS Gen2 also offers remarkable mapping functionality, including support for the full-range of Navionics cartography. The built-in graphics engine, TurboView, delivers seamless zooms and 2D-3D chart displays, striking depth views in 2D and 3D, plus high-speed panning/zooming with aerial views.
