Introduction
For the finest possible picture of fish and structure, both below and to the sides of your boat, combine CHIRP Sonar with StructureScan 3D or StructureScan HD. With its dual-core CPU, HDS is able to readily operate technology like StructureScan 3D, Mercury VesselView Link, and Lowrance Outboard Pilot with faster redraws and quicker response times. A high-visibility contrast never previously seen in scanning fish finders is produced by new dynamic color range. The near-photographic image of SideScan, DownScan Imaging, TotalScan, and StructureScan HD/3D quality is improved by a larger spectrum of color.
When watching two CHIRP channels at once, you’ll never miss your targets. Maintain visibility of your preferred high CHIRP frequency for improved target separation near the bottom or in small schools. Get around fixed hazards more quickly with automatic route planning that calculates the shortest, safest course based on a boat’s draft, beam, and height. requires Navionics+, Navionics Platinum, or C-MAP MAX-N+ charts.
