The best sonar we've ever created - HDS Live © Lowrance

HDS LIVE takes the best from Lowrance's most popular fishfinder series on the professional fishing circuit and makes it even better. With a sleek, new design, faster processor and the best-ever built-in suite of navigation tools, HDS LIVE is our key to unlock any angler's best day out on the water.

Beyond the numerous features already available on the HDS Series, HDS LIVE comes with some groundbreaking innovations:

The best sonar we've ever created: Active Imaging™ & StructureScan® 3D with Active imaging

Active Imaging delivers superior clarity and the highest resolution images of fish and structure at a longer range than any other imaging technology. Also coming in 2018, StructureScan 3D with Active Imaging will provide a cleaner 3D view, a new custom depth shading feature and real-world, three-dimensional views of what's going on beneath your boat in higher resolution than ever before.

Smartphone Integration with LiveCast™

Available on HDS LIVE 12 and 16, LiveCast™ allows you to view smartphone data like Google Maps and even watch video on the high-resolution SolarMAX HD screen. And, with a LiveCast-sonar split screen, you can see your smartphone and keep an eye on the fish simultaneously.

Coming early 2019: Fish in real-time with LiveSight Sonar

You've never fished like this before. 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.

Time to get out on the water. Time for tight lines.
