Lowrance HDS-7 LIVE Fishfinder
The Lowrance HDS-7 LIVE Fishfinder is one of the most commonly used among professional anglers. This platform is based on taking the traditional structure of a fishfinder but adding extremely innovative features to create a fishfinder unlike any other. Some of these features include Active Imaging™, StructureScan® 3D with Active Imaging, LiveSight™ real-time sonar Forward or Down compatibility, Genesis Live mapping, and more*. This fishfinder comes with the best navigation tools that Lowrance has ever provided in the entire HDS lineup. Some of these tools include C-MAP® Easy Routing and Navionics® Autorouting** capability, preloaded, high-resolution C-MAP US Enhanced inland and coastal charts, plus new C-MAP Genesis Live mapping, which allows anglers to create up to 1/2 foot contour maps, in real-time, directly on their display screen. There is nothing more frustrating than when you are out on the water on a bright, sunny day, and cannot see your screens without removing your sunglasses and creating a shadow over the screen. Lowrance has developed the perfect solution with their high-resolution SolarMAX HD screen, allowing you to see it from any angle. You can also view your screen clearly in direct sunlight, or even through your polarized sunglasses! The dual-core processor allows you to have smooth, lag-free operation out on the water. This high-quality processor also provides you with a more responsive touchscreen and a faster redrawing of charts and sonar. This fishfinder is ready to stay with you for years to come. Easily upgrade tools in the future, and love that you always have the most cutting-edge technology at your fingertips. You also have the ability to integrate it with your Power-Pole shallow water anchors, autopilots, and Broadband 4G Radar to the SonicHub 2 audio and SiriusXM Audio and Marine Weather.
