Equipped with the best set of navigation tools ever built into a fishfinder/chartplotter display, HDS LIVE features preloaded C-MAP® US Enhanced Inland and Coastal mapping, automatic routing support and new Genesis Live onscreen mapping offering precision real-time mapping, down to ½-foot contours.

FISH IN REAL-TIME WITH LIVESIGHT SONAR

Sonar interpretation made simple, LiveSight™ sonar turns all fishing into sight fishing, delivering the most detailed views of fish, down to every turn and flip of the tail, as they swim in and around cover. You’ll be fishing in real-time as you watch fish react to your lure, see how they are relating to structure and gain insight on what will work, what won’t and what to do next.

EXPERIENCE FISHING IN AN UNPRECEDENTED WAY

Get ready to elevate your fishfinding capabilities with HDS LIVE, integrating the built-in Lowrance® CHIRP sonar, compatibility for Active Imaging™ HD, Active Imaging™, StructureScan® 3D with Active Imaging, and the advanced ActiveTarget™2 and ActiveTarget™ Live Sonar. Featuring the most comprehensive navigation utilities ever incorporated into a fishfinder/chartplotter display, HDS LIVE comes with preinstalled C-MAP® Contour™+ inland and coastal charts, automatic routing capabilities, and the innovative Genesis Live onscreen mapping that provides meticulous real-time mapping down to ½-foot contours.

EXPERIENCE REAL-TIME FISHING WITH ACTIVETARGET® 2 AND ACTIVETARGET® LIVE SONAR

Enhance your fishing strategy by understanding fish behavior in real-time through ActiveTarget® 2 and ActiveTarget® Live Sonar. Gain detailed insights into fish movements as they navigate around structures and cover, observing them in forward, down, and scout perspectives. Monitor their immediate reaction to your bait and determine whether your existing approach is effective or if a change is necessary. The new ActiveTarget® 2 offers a refined, uniform image across its complete range.

ADVANCED ACTIVE IMAGING

Perfect for pinpointing fish-holding areas like rockpiles, standing timber, weedbeds, ditches and drop-offs, Active Imaging™ sonar delivers superior clarity and the highest resolution images of fish and structure at a longer range than any other structure-imaging technology.

The Lowrance HDS-12 LIVE coupled with Active Imaging 3-in-1 delivers an unparalleled imaging experience, showcasing unmatched clarity and the utmost resolution of fish and underwater structures at greater distances than any other visualization system. This groundbreaking technology is perfect for identifying areas teeming with fish such as rock formations, standing timber, weeds, trenches, and shifts in gradient.

NAVIGATE TO PRIME FISHING SPOTS WITH CONTOUR+

Maximize your fishing efforts and minimize search time with the detailed precision of C-MAP® Contour™+ inland and coastal charts integrated into HDS LIVE displays. Whether pinpointing essential fishing zones like ledges, depth changes, or ditches or steering with accuracy to areas rich in fish, you'll achieve greater results on water with sharp, bathymetric 1-foot contours covering over 15,000 U.S. lakes and over 9,400 lakes in Canada. Refine the mapping of your preferred fishing locale or chart previously unmapped regions with ½ foot contours – in real-time – directly on your HDS LIVE screen using C-MAP® Genesis Live.

MAPPING IN REAL-TIME

Update the mapping of your favorite fishing spot or map unmapped areas with ½ foot contours – in real time – on the screen of your fishfinder/chartplotter with C-MAP Genesis Live. Genesis Live uses digital depth to create high-definition maps featuring 1/2-foot contours. Target key fishing areas with Genesis Live maps, which makes it easy to find areas where fish like to hide, like drop-offs, points, ditches and more. A truly customizable mapping experience, Genesis Live gives you control over contour transparency, contour density, depth and safety shading color palettes, and more. Create your Genesis Live maps in real-time, saving them as you go to a microSD card.

STAY CONNECTED WITH SMARTPHONE ALERTS
