Lowrance HDS-12 LIVE No Transducer w/C-MAP Pro Chart Product Description
Unlock Next-Level Fishing with Advanced Sonar and Mapping
Imagine pinpointing fish in real-time, mapping underwater structures with crystal clarity, and navigating unfamiliar waters effortlessly—all from a single, sun-glare-proof display. The Lowrance HDS-12 LIVE delivers this pro-level performance, trusted by tournament anglers who demand precision on every cast. Without a transducer included, you have the flexibility to pair it with your ideal setup, like Active Imaging 3-in-1 for CHIRP, SideScan, and DownScan views that reveal fish and structure like never before.
Its 12-inch SolarMAX HD IPS touchscreen shines at over 1200 nits, maintaining sharp 1280x800 resolution visibility from 80-degree angles, even through polarized sunglasses. Whether you're chasing bass in shallow bays or trolling deep offshore, this unit's quad-core processor ensures buttery-smooth operation, rapid chart redraws, and lag-free sonar scrolling.
Standout Sonar Features That Change the Game
FishReveal Smart Target View overlays CHIRP sonar clarity with DownScan Imaging, making fish pop against structure without guesswork. Pair it with ActiveTarget Live Sonar (compatible) to watch baitfish schools scatter as predators strike—live action that transforms how you position your boat.
- StructureScan 3D Ready: Build immersive 3D maps of wrecks, drop-offs, and ledges for ambush points.
- Dual-Channel CHIRP: Scan multiple depth ranges simultaneously from one transducer, covering more water efficiently.
- Live Network Sonar: Link multiple units to blanket large areas, marking fish with unmatched detail.
- Enhanced Surface Clarity: Spot surface runners and schooling fish that traditional sonar misses.
Bonus: Heat Map tracks water temperature shifts, guiding you to thermal edges where fish congregate.
Superior Navigation Built for Serious Anglers
Preloaded C-MAP US Enhanced charts cover over 4,000 lakes with 1-foot contours, plus Easy Routing and Navionics Autorouting to plot safe paths instantly. Create custom HD maps on the water with C-MAP Genesis Live using your sonar data. Internal GPS locks waypoints for hot spots, ramps, and docks, while SmartSteer controls trolling motors or outboards seamlessly.
Stay connected with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, NMEA 2000, and Ethernet ports. Get smartphone notifications for calls and texts without glancing away, or use LiveCast to mirror your phone's video, maps, or apps right on the screen.
Rugged Build and Easy Integration
Rated IPX7 waterproof, it withstands heavy spray and submersion. Mount via dash flush or gimbal bracket for custom setups. Powered by 12V DC (10-17V range), it draws up to 3.6A max with a 5A fuse—perfect for most boats. Two microSD slots store waypoints, routes, and software updates.
Pro Tip: Position the unit at eye level for quick reads during high-speed runs. Use the Quick Access Control Bar for one-touch sonar gain, zoom, or overlay toggles to react faster to bites.

Real-World Tips for Maximizing Performance
For bass fishing, dial FishReveal sensitivity to highlight schools over timber without clutter. In saltwater, leverage SideScan for spotting reefs 300+ feet away. Network with Ghost Trolling Motors for silent, precise anchoring. Always calibrate gyro compass for accurate headings in rough conditions.
Tournament pros love the six-panel split-screen: sonar, charts, radar, and engine data side-by-side. Upgrade maps via microSD for region-specific detail, and use Power-Pole integration for spot-lock on structure.
