HDS Redefines ‘Ease of Use’
Viewing and control has never been easier, nor more user-friendly. From basic operation to
advanced professional functionality, HDS is thoughtfully designed to take you to the next level.
Stylish and Retrofit-Ready –
True, HDS sports a more modern design
to enhance any boat helm. Yet, by
design, HDS makes it easy to upgrade
your Lowrance electronics. HDS is
compatible with late-model Lowrance
transducers, plus yellow Ethernetworks
and NMEA 2000 ® network connectors.
A Touch Better –
For even easier and quicker control,
HDS-8, -8m, -10 and -10m models
feature a unique new FlyWheel™ scroll
dial, as well as a bank of soft command
keys for the fastest access to functions.
So, you can spend less time operating
and more time fishing.
Screen Star –
In the easy-to-view category, HDS really
shines. All feature the new SolarMAX™
PLUS colour display for the best in
brilliant detail in bright sunlight, the best
wide-angle viewing ever achieved. In
fact, most now deliver nearly twice the
brilliance with significantly-reduced
power draw than before! Plus, super-
white LED backlighting has zero-dim for
eye-soothing night vision protection.
Enjoy Our New Menu Selection –
The new, more versatile and flexible
HDS operating system presents a whole
new way to view and select Lowrance
features. This new menu format is both
easy to grasp and thoughtfully
functional.
Better to Find Yourself –
With a built-in, high-sensitivity
16-channel GPS+WAAS antenna HDS
is a superior solution for both bracket
mount, and in-dash installs with the
convenience of front mounting. Plus, it
also networks with NMEA 2000 ®
systems for data sharing. No external
antenna to place, no mess, no fuss. Just
exquisite, advanced GPS accuracy with
strong satellite locks and less track plot
wander.
For closed-cabin installs there’s also a
new and compact LGC-4000 external
GPS+WAAS antenna module option for
HDS with a true, real-time satellite
signal update rate of 5 times per
second for incredible location accuracy.

Ethernetworks NEP-1 Expansion Port
All HDS models come fully ethernet-ready to share high-bandwidth data among all multi-function HDS displays
on the boat, including sonar graphs and radar.
For a connected onboard system, the optional NEP-1 ethernet expansion port module links up to four HDS
displays for high-speed data distribution. A robust, 100-megabit switch, it’s rugged and IPX-7 waterproof to resist
corrosive marine environments.
See page 27 for more.
Full NMEA 2000 ® Networking
HDS comes with full NMEA 2000 ® connectivity for the advanced standard in boat systems data sharing, backed
by the most extensive and affordable selection of smart sensors for boat systems monitoring, including engine
and fuel flow for optimum operating economies.
High Definition Digital Radar
LRA-1800 2 kW and LRA-2400 4 kW Radomes
Two choices in Lowrance high-performance digital radar for optimal safety in poor weather or low-light
conditions, with added chart overlay feature, are now easily networked for HDS displays via Ethernetworks. See
page 17 for more.
LMF Multi-Function Gauges
Lowrance LMF models are NMEA 2000 ® certified digital gauges that are truly impressive in precision and
versatility for real-time monitoring of engine and boat systems on the NMEA 2000 ® network. LMF gauges
display up to 16 different pages with 13 customizable screen types in graphic analog and alpha-numeric styles.
Plus, they’re backed by the most extensive and affordable selection of smart sensors, including Fuel Flow for
optimum fuel management economies. Available in a choice of two standard dash gauge sizes, both deliver
superb viewing in direct sunlight. See page 26 for more.
Electronic Probe Sensors
Only Lowrance offers the most NMEA-2000 ® sensors for vital boat data monitoring, each with a built-in “smart
module,” that’s fully programmable for greater accuracy in data delivery. That includes expanded engine and fuel
flow readings for optimum operating economies. See page 26 for more.
