Lowrance HDS PRO 16 w/C-MAP DISCOVER OnBoard + Active Imaging HD
Lowrance HDS PRO 16 w/C-MAP DISCOVER OnBoard + Active Imaging HD — Product description
Imagine gliding across your favorite lake at dawn, the water still whispering secrets beneath the surface. With the Lowrance HDS PRO 16 equipped with C-MAP DISCOVER OnBoard charts and Active Imaging HD, those secrets unfold in stunning clarity right on your 16-inch display. This powerhouse fishfinder and chartplotter doesn't just show you what's below— it brings the underwater world to life, letting you witness fish chasing your lure in real-time and pinpoint structure with unprecedented detail.
Crystal-Clear Views That Change the Game
The SolarMAX HD touchscreen stands out under the harshest conditions: blinding sun, polarized sunglasses, or extreme angles. Its 1920x1080 resolution and over 1200 nits brightness ensure every detail pops, from baitfish schools to subtle bottom contours. Pair that with ultra-high-definition Active Imaging HD, and you're scanning with Lowrance CHIRP, SideScan, and DownScan Imaging at 1.2MHz for razor-sharp images up to three times clearer than before.
Take live sonar to the next level with ActiveTarget 2 compatibility. Watch fish react as they strike, track schools in Forward, Down, or Scout modes, and even run dual systems for simultaneous multi-angle views. FishReveal enhances this further, blending CHIRP sonar with SideScan and DownScan to make targets glow—perfect for distinguishing fish from cover instantly.
Navigate and Map Like a Pro
Preloaded C-MAP DISCOVER OnBoard charts cover over 19,000 U.S. lakes and 9,400 Canadian ones with 1-foot contours, custom depth shading, and high-res coastal data. Spot prime fishing spots faster, then create real-time custom maps using C-MAP Genesis Live as you fish. For tournament anglers, overlay ActiveTarget Scout or Ghost Trolling Motor 360 views directly on charts to correlate live action with structure.
Expand beyond basics with optional upgrades like C-MAP REVEAL, Navionics, or Florida Marine Tracks. The 10 Hz GPS/GLONASS receiver delivers smooth 20m RMS accuracy, WAAS/EGNOS support, and quick 30-second first fixes for reliable waypoint navigation.
Full-System Control from Bow to Stern
This isn't just a screen—it's the brain of your ultimate fishing setup. Touchscreen commands handle Power-Pole anchors, Ghost Trolling Motors (with new 360, Orbit Waypoint, and Anchor at Distance features), autopilots, and Lowrance Outboard Pilot. NMEA 2000, Ethernet (up to 6 MFDs), Bluetooth 5.2, and Wi-Fi keep everything synced, including smartphone notifications and multimedia via SonicHub or Fusion-Link.
Rugged build meets IPX7 waterproofing, shock/vibration resistance (100,000 cycles of 20G), and a wide operating range from 5°F to 131°F. Bracket or panel mount it easily, with dimensions fitting most consoles.
