The Lowrance HDS-7 Carbon features a new 7" multi-touch display using a high-bright LED backlight and advanced anti-reflection coatings to create a screen which provides wider viewing angles, in any lighting conditions. Loaded with a dual-core high performance processor the HDS Carbon provides faster draw speeds and increased response times for dual channel CHIRP, dual network sounder views, StructureScan 3D and StructureMap, and split screen views all at the same time.
The HDS Carbon brings a familiar “smartphone-like” comfort with integrated wireless and Bluetooth® connectivity. With the internal 10Hz GPS antenna and a multitude of mapping options accessible from the unit’s dual microSD card slots, you can navigate easily with HDS Carbon.
- 7-inch, backlit, multi-touch and widescreen display. SolarMAX™ HD touchscreens produce wider viewing angles from anywhere in sight.
- Unique Lowrance® interface featuring quick-response touchscreen or keypad control, intuitive software, and protective coatings deliver performance in the most rugged on-the-water conditions.
- HDS Carbon employs a dual-core, high performance processor with more than enough agility, speed and power providing faster redraws and quicker response times to easily drive today’s best technology, like StructureScan® 3D, Mercury® VesselView® Link and the Lowrance Outboard pilot.
- Never miss fish targets with two CHIRP frequency channels at the same time low, medium or high. Keep favorite high CHIRP frequency visible for increased target separation close to the bottom or in tight schools and now view the low frequency channel at the same time to cover more of the water column with wider and deeper cone angles.
- Simultaneously view CHIRP traditional sonar with StructureScan® 3D or StructureScan® HD at once.
- HDS Carbon has a high performance processor that produces lightning quick redraw speeds and faster sonar updates. It easily powers Carbon’s intuitive user-interface that includes scrolling menus, cursor assist, snap-to setting markers and innovative preview panes with quick-touch slider bars.
