The next generation of HDS is here. The new Lowrance Gen3 HDS-7 Fishfinder/Chartplotters feature a faster processer combined with leading fish finding technologies and an improved user interface.

Each HDS-12 comes equipped with integrated CHIRP Sonar, Broadband Sounder, StructureScan HD, DownScan Imaging and Trackback features. This hi-tech generation advances the award-winning Lowrance target separation by combining simultaneous use of cutting-edge CHIRP sonar technology and advanced StructureScan HD sonar imaging to produce unparalleled views of fish holding near the bottom and around structure.

The specially-tuned, visibly better 12-inch LED-backlit, multi-touch widescreen display also delivers better definition of sonar returns, dynamic dimensionality in menu elements and a layered, strong and subtle color scheme for striking on-screen detail.

The exclusive new interface allows you to fully control functions through either multi-touch or full key pad operation depending on user preference and on-the-water conditions. Scrolling menus, cursor assist, snap-to setting markers and innovative preview panes with quick-touch slider bars also make operation faster and more intuitive.

The Internal GPS Antenna (select models only - see chart below) with 10Hz position update rate provides ultra-accurate trails, smoother chart performance and maximum position accuracy. Equipped with built-in Insight USA charts for Coastal and Inland US, it supports WAAS/EGNOS/MSAS corrections and is compatible with the most expansive selection of cartography on the market.

Features:

-Built-in CHIRP Sonar delivers greater sensitivity, improved target resolution and superior noise rejection for clearer, easy-to-see bait fish and game fish targets. It also delivers multiple CHIRP and Broadband Sounder frequencies from a single transducer.
-Built-in StructureScan HD sonar imaging allows you to enjoy picture-like 180-degree views of structure and fish below your boat. (Requires optional StructureScan HD transducer.)
