HDS Redenes ‘Ease of Use’
Viewing and control has never been easier, nor more user-friendly. From basic operation to
advanced professional functionality, HDS is thoughtfully designed to take you to the next level.
Stylish and Retrot-Ready
True, HDS sports a more modern design
to enhance any boat helm. Yet, by
design, HDS makes it easy to upgrade
your Lowrance electronics. HDS is
compatible with late-model Lowrance
transducers, plus yellow Ethernetworks
and NMEA 2000
®
network connectors.
A Touch Better
For even easier and quicker control,
HDS-8, -8m, -10 and -10m models
feature a unique new FlyWheel™ scroll
dial, as well as a bank of soft command
keys for the fastest access to functions.
So, you can spend less time operating
and more time shing.
Screen Star
In the easy-to-view category, HDS really
shines. All feature the new SolarMAX™
PLUS colour display for the best in
brilliant detail in bright sunlight, the best
wide-angle viewing ever achieved. In
fact, most now deliver nearly twice the
brilliance with signicantly-reduced
power draw than before! Plus, super-
white LED backlighting has zero-dim for
eye-soothing night vision protection.
Enjoy Our New Menu Selection
The new, more versatile and exible
HDS operating system presents a whole
new way to view and select Lowrance
features. This new menu format is both
easy to grasp and thoughtfully
functional.
Better to Find Yourself
With a built-in, high-sensitivity
16-channel GPS+WAAS antenna HDS
is a superior solution for both bracket
mount, and in-dash installs with the
convenience of front mounting. Plus, it
also networks with NMEA 2000
®
systems for data sharing. No external
antenna to place, no mess, no fuss. Just
exquisite, advanced GPS accuracy with
strong satellite locks and less track plot
wander.
For closed-cabin installs there’s also a
new and compact LGC-4000 external
GPS+WAAS antenna module option for
HDS with a true, real-time satellite
signal update rate of 5 times per
second for incredible location accuracy.
See page 26 for more.
Ethernetworks NEP-1 Expansion Port
All HDS models come fully ethernet-ready to share high-bandwidth data among all multi-function HDS displays
on the boat, including sonar graphs and radar.
For a connected onboard system, the optional NEP-1 ethernet expansion port module links up to four HDS
displays for high-speed data distribution. A robust, 100-megabit switch, it’s rugged and IPX-7 waterproof to resist
corrosive marine environments.
