HDS-7 Carbon Multifunction Display with Insight PRO Charts

Bright new display has widest viewing angles; processor is ultra-fast.

Brilliant new SolarMAX™ HD Display: HDS Carbon Fishfinder/Chartplotters feature an ultra-clear SolarMAX™ HD multi-touch display using high-brightness LED backlighting and advanced anti-reflective coatings to create wider viewing angles in any lighting condition. Superior color accuracy and boosted high-resolution viewing panels provide dazzling views of today's leading sonar, even when you're wearing polarized sunglasses. 

Quick Dual Core Processor: Dual core high-performance processors deliver faster redraw speeds and quicker response times for dual-channel CHIRP sonar, dual network sounder views, StructureScan 3D® and StructureMap™. Split-screen views show all this and your charts at the same time. The dual core processors have enough reserve brute strength to drive future high-powered fishfinding upgrades.

Easy to operate; easy to connect: HDS Carbon also brings modern "smartphone-like" usability with integrated wireless and Bluetooth® connectivity that supports the most advanced marine technology, including a Network Analyzer that notifies you when new software is available, and a system Service Assistant that allows you to transmit a detailed report of your electronics network direct to technical advisors for custom hands-on assistance. 

Your network hub: HDS Carbon can view and control Mercury VesselView® Link, pair with Power-Pole® shallow-water anchors, and control SmartSteer™ trolling motor/outboard motors. Many safety and entertainment plug-ins are available to complete your network.

Key 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 shows fish targets as tiny dots—FishReveal Smart Target Viewing blends the best data from both, eliminating the need for split-screen viewing and interpretation.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Internal GPS antenna: with 10Hz position update rate provides ultra-accurate trails, smoother chart performance and maximum position accuracy. Supports WAAS/EGNOS/MSAS corrections.
• Precision-9 compatible: the Precision-9 Compass supplies accurate heading and rate-of-turn information to Lowrance autopilot, radar and navigation systems over an NMEA 2000 connection. With an internal array of solid-state sensors constantly measuring motion and orientation on nine axes, the Precision-9 also provides pitch and roll data to compatible equipment.
• Extensive mapping options: HDS Carbon includes built-in world background reference map, and compatibility with the most expansive selection of cartography on the market. Mapping options include Insight Genesis™, Insight PRO by C-MAP, Lake Insight HD by C-MAP, C-MAP MAX-N+, Navionics® and more. Visit GoFreeMarine.com for details.
• Insight Genesis™ custom maps: Make your own maps using recorded sonar logs, upload data to an Insight Genesis® account, view secure custom chart detail online, add optional custom color layer, vegetation and bottom-hardness overlays and download to a microSD card for use on the water. Plus, you can also share custom maps with the global Insight Genesis Social Map community.
• Multi-view and chart sharing: View two charts simultaneously, in 2D or 3D perspective view, with independent control, range and overlay capabilities. Plus, get the maximum from your chart card purchases. Buy one map card and view it on all Ethernet networked HDS Gen3, HDS Gen2 Touch or Gen2 displays.
