Description of 🐟 Advanced Lowrance HDS-Live Fish Finder with Multi-Touch Screen, Live Sonar Compatibility, and Preloaded C-MAP US Enhanced Mapping

MOST ADVANCED FISHFINDER TECHNOLOGY: Simultaneously view CHIRP Sonar with StructureScan 3D or StructureScan HD to get the best possible view of fish and structure, below and to the sides of your boat. DUAL-CORE PROCESSOR: HDS employs a dual-core processor with more than enough speed & power to provide faster redraws & quicker response times to easily drive technology, like StructureScan 3D, Mercury VesselView Link & Lowrance Outboard pilot. COLOR SONAR: New dynamic color range result in high-visibility contrast never before seen in scanning fish finders. A wider range of color enhances the near-photographic image of SideScan, DownScan Imaging, TotalScan & StructureScan HD/3D quality. DUAL-CHANNEL CHIRP SONAR: Never miss targets when viewing two CHIRP channels at the same time. Keep favorite high CHIRP frequency visible for increased target separation close to the bottom or in tight schools. EASY ROUTING: Navigate faster with automatic route planning that auto-plots the shortest & safest course based on a boat’s draft, beam & height, creating a route around fixed hazards. Requires C-MAP MAX-N+ charts, Navionics+ or Navionics Platinum charts.

Really nice device, would be perfect if the fish beepers worked.

Works as advertised. This is a really good, full-featured device. If you want good bathymetry you need to buy charts from Navionics. If you need a live sight you'll need to buy a $1000 live sight converter (in addition to the included 3n1 converter) - 1 star as the fish horns don't work at all. Even after a software update. I have read the entire manual cover to cover. It is set up correctly. That's the unit, not me. It takes approximately one month for Lowrance Technical Support to respond to…

Pros
  • DUAL-CORE PROCESSOR: HDS uses a dual-core processor with more than enough speed and power to provide faster rendering and response times to easily control technologies like StructureScan 3D, Mercury VesselView Link and Lowrance Outboard Pilot.
Cons
  • Not sure

Fantastically easy to use

I had Lowrance units for a long time, so the transition to this new unit was easy. However, it is full of many new features. I bought it because I also bought a Lowrance Halo 24 radar but I couldn't connect them. Lowrance sent me a new cable to see if that fixed the problem but they were of great help. Very slow but helpful. The HDS-9 connects easily to my other Lowrance unit, I use sonar in one and charts in the other. With it I can mark waypoints, decoys etc. on the sonar and then navigate to

Pros
  • LATEST SONAR TECHNOLOGY: View CHIRP sonar simultaneously with StructureScan 3D or StructureScan HD for the best possible view of fish and structure beneath and around your boat.
Cons
  • I don't remember, but there was something

$2000.00 paperweight with worst customer service.

I purchased this item on July 29th and went to install it last Sunday. The installation of the converter went without incident, but when I turned on the Lowrance HDS Live 9 inch, the device had a nice screen, but for 30 seconds after starting, the screen froze and I couldn't navigate with any buttons. After about a minute, the device shuts down completely and then restarts, only to repeat the same thing all over again. This cycle continues over and over until you just get frustrated. I tried…

Pros
  • SIMPLE ROUTING: Navigate quickly with automatic route planning that automatically plots the shortest and safest course based on boat's draft, width and height, and routes around fixed hazards. Requires C-MAP MAX-N+, Navionics+ or Navionics Platinum charts.
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
