Lowrance updates
Lowrance
Lowrance has just released new, game-changing software updates to the sonar and navigation functionality of HDS Carbon, HDS Gen3 and Elite Ti displays. The free feature upgrade includes new FishReveal Smart Target View, High-Visibility Color Sonar enhancements to StructureScan® 3D/HD*, C-MAP® Easy Routing and Navionics® Autorouting capability, plus a new easy-to-interpret C-MAP Navigation Palette. (*HDS Carbon only)
New Features:
FishReveal™ Smart Target Viewing
- A massive leap forward in fish-finding technology, FishReveal makes it easier to see fish on DownScan Imaging™. Unlike traditional CHIRP views that provide strong fish targets, but lack refined structure detail, or DownScan Imaging that provides photo-like images of the bottom and structure details but show fish targets as tiny dots -- FishReveal Smart Target Viewing blends the best data from both, eliminating the need for split-screen viewing and interpretation.
High-Visibility Color Sonar
- New dynamic color range and tone strength provide high-visibility contrast never seen in scanning fishfinders. A wider range of color enhances the quality of photo-like images of SideScan, DownScan Imaging and StructureScan 3D.Just as the human eye compensates for varying degrees of darkness, High-Visibility Color Sonar automatically enhances brightness in darker areas, while simultaneously preventing overexposure in brighter areas. This extends the visible range, making it possible to see what is in the shadows close to the boat or more than 100 feet away.
Automatic Routing
- Get faster and easier navigation with automatic route planning. This feature simplifies route creation by automatically plotting the shortest and safest course based on the boat's draft, beam and height; creating a route around a landmass, shoals and other fixed navigational hazards. Autorouting requires a C-MAP MAX-N+, Navionics+ or Navionics® Platinum chart.
C-MAP Navigation Palette
- C-MAP charts just got a major upgrade in readability that is most apparent near shore, where colors used for land, docks, anchorage areas, water, and channels are nicely differentiated and water contour lines are distinct. The new palette makes it easier to tell where the boat is in relation to a channel, navaid, ledges and drop-offs, or a point of land. The color scheme is also much easier on the eye.
