The Lowrance HDS7 Multifunction GPS Fishfinder is a standalone navigation center with pre-loaded maps and a digital fishfinder, all-in-one. The HDS7 also includes High Definition mapping for the entire US, including inland lakes and US coastal waters, displayed on a sunlight viewable, 480 x 640, 6.4” SOLORMAX PLUS DISPLAY. The brighter and clearer display offers a much wider viewing angle and Lowrance even backlit the keypad for nighttime use. Locating your position is a cinch for the HDS7 with its super-sensitive 16-channel internal GPS antenna. And if you find yourself in a situation for an external antenna, like a pilot house or enclosed bridge, you can always add the Lowrance LGC-4000 external GPS antenna.
The Lowrance HDS-7 comes pre-loaded with all of the maps that most boaters would ever need. The built-in enhanced US base map includes over 100,000 bodies of water and shoreline detail for the US Coast. Lowrance then added the detailed maps as below:
- Lake Insight provides life-like perspective of bottom structure and topography, fishing points of interest, marked fishing areas, fish habitat areas and boat ramps. Coverage includes the Great Lakes and more than 500 Fishing Hot Spots Lakes.
- Nautic Insight for superior life-like view of coastal bottom structure with detailed coastal and offshore depth contours, spot soundings and navigational aids for the entire U.S. coastline.
The Lowrance HDS-7’s built-in High-Definition Digital Fishfinder uses broadband technology to provide the best picture of fish and bottom possible. The digital filters reduce false echos and help to distinguish fish from structure like rock piles, stumps beds, drop-offs and ledges. You will also see a large increase in performance of tracking bottom at higher speeds and in rougher sea conditions. The HDS 7 has an adjustable zoom scale of up to 8X and can operate up to a maximum of 5000’.
Lowrance covered all of the bases by making the HDS-7 expandable and network ready. You can add and view Sirius Weather, Sirius Radio, Lowrance High-Definition Radar and NMEA 2000 compatible equipment like fuel sensors, temperature sensors and engine interface sensors. The Lowrance LWX-1 Sirius Weather Module offers the user one of two packages. The inshore package features weather radar, lightning, other weather features and a real-time fuel price search. The offshore package includes a full suite of weather and sea conditions. Sirius radio is also available and includes 120 channels of digital quality broadcast.
Lowrance also made this unit much easier to use than past models with an improved keyboard design, faster processors and a more intuitive menu.
