Lowrance HDS-7 Gen2 Base US w/ Freshwater Transducer
Details
Upgrade to the next generation of faster, higher-performance marine electronics in the new Lowrance HDS Gen2 series. With lightning-fast operation and the exclusive new StructureMap tool (when used with an LSS-1 sounder) to view and create your own custom detailed charts of favorite fishing, boating and diving areas, the new Gen2 series continues the highest standards that made HDS the world's best-selling multifunction display.
United States Basemap Included
The U.S. basemap provides basic contour information for the East Coast, West Coast, Gulf Coast and Great Lakes in the United States. If you don't need more detailed charts, or plan to add them as accessories, you can save money with the basemap model.
New features for HDS Gen2 include:
Broadband Sounder Fishfinding
The next generation of digital sonar. An unbeatable fishfinder in its class. Whether you're in shallow, mid or deepwater over 5,000 ft.
Super-accurate, Internal GPS Antenna
Advanced Lowrance high-sensitivity GPS receiver with TurboView for the best possible chartplotting experience and WAAS corrections for reliable position accuracy in navigation. If your unit is in a cabin or under a hard top, you'll need to add the LGC-4000 (click here) external antenna.
High-bright, Sunlight-Viewable Displays
Exclusive SolarMAX displays render the finest picture and detail – in the brightest sun, and at the widest angles – of any marine display. HDS- 10, HDS-8 and HDS-7 feature super-white LED backlighting that adjusts to zero-dim for night use. Enhanced four-panel Gen2 screen viewing for HDS- 10 and HDS-8, and three-panel displays for HDS-7 and HDS-5.
Easy Operation
Simple-to-follow menu operation and graphic interface make HDS Gen2 easy to learn, so users quickly gain control of key functions.
SD Media Card Port
Display Insight HD, Navionics and Fishing Hot Spots digital charting. Record/save echosounder and GPS detail data as well as screen captures. Upload performance-enhancing software upgrades. The 10" and 8" models have two slots available, 7" and 5" have one slot.
Out-of-the-Box Networking
HDS Gen2 features full plug-and-play connectivity with the versatility of dual platforms: high-speed Ethernet for display networking and performance module add-ons; and NMEA 2000 for onboard engine- and system-data sharing.
5-Year Advantage Service
