Lowrance
Lowrance has blown the doors off its existing line of fish finders/plotters with the introduction of the HDS (High Definition System), which brings together parent company Navico's most innovative features and technology in a revamped line. The HDS Series is available in 5-, 7-, 8- and 10-inch stand-alones ($749 to $2,299). All of them incorporate the "Broadband Sounder" digital fish-finding technology introduced as a black box last year, and plotters support the full line of Navionics cartography and include two high-speed SD slots for upgrades and additions. Built into the case of all units is a 16-channel GPS/WAAS antenna, eliminating the need for an external GPS for plotter functions. All are fully NMEA 2000 compatible and networkable to accommodate Sirius weather radio and radar, and they are configured to accommodate future Lowrance products. www.lowrance.com
