HDS Highest-Definition Broadband Fishfinding

Incredible and award-winning, exclusive Broadband Sounder digital technologies is now inside all HDS sonar models for the best Lowrance fishfinding ever! As the vital link between the transducer and your HDS display, Broadband is proven to find more fish with greater sensitivity, higher definition and more display clarity with superior target separation in all cover, in thermoclines and in all water conditions.

Less Noise, More Targets
With Lowrance Broadband digital signal processing software, noise goes way down and sensitivity goes way up. The result: Ultimate target discrimination with incredible high-definition separation of those distinctive Lowrance �fish arch� targets from structure and other fish!

Crystal-Clear Clarity
With advanced digital filtering, Broadband vastly improves at-a-glance display clarity, sharpens bottom images and paints a much cleaner picture of targets that others will miss or show poorly.

Greater Shallow-Water Coverage
To cover even more water, Broadband automatically adds 83 kHz operation to a Lowrance 200 kHz single-frequency transducer. At 83 kHz, you get full 120-degrees of wide-angle coverage with greatly enhanced definition of fish arch targets.

Incredible Deep-Water Performance
Broadband sounding is serious electronics when the hunt is on for fish in any deep water weather condition. Even at higher boat speeds, Broadband keeps a bottom lock at depth, with exceptional targeting of fish arches on the bottom, around wrecks and other seabed structure. And when used with a high-power transducer, strong bottom locks and water column detail reach down thousands of feet!

Expandability at No Extra Cost
For added value, HDS Broadband-equipped models can turn an HDS GPS Chartplotter (or GlobalMap chartplotter with yellow ethernet connector) into a powerful combination fishfinder/chartplotter with complete sonar graph control when networked by Lowrance Ethernetworks.

798ci HD SI Combo
Maximize your angling experience with a backlit 5-inch screen, side and down imaging, DualBeam Plus sonar with 4000 watts output, and more.

Maximize Your Angling Experience

Side Imaging

Side Imaging Sonar, with its amazingly clear, picture-like images of fish, the bottom and structure, is the ultimate structure-finding tool, and with its massive coverage (480 feet from side to side) you can scan in mere minutes what used to take hours.

Humminbird Side Imaging Sonar uses a razor thin beam to take a "sonar snapshot" of the area up to 240 ft. to the left and right of your location. The return image for this slice is then added to the images taken immediately before and after to build an incredibly detailed view of the lake bottom.

Down Imaging

Humminbird has pointed their Side Imaging technology in a new direction: straight down. Now you can see the detail of what is happening below your boat. Timber, brush, bridge pilings, rocks and any other structure will pop with stunning detail as you patrol the water. Take a peek; you'll like what you see.

DualBeam Plus

Get the best of both worlds, with selectable narrow and wide beams you can view individually, or melded into one display. A precision 20° beam provides high accuracy returns of fish, structure, and bottom profile. The wider 60° beam provides greater coverage for fish and bait fish. You can view the two beams separately, side by side, or blended together for the most complete picture.

Switchfire Sonar

When you hit the water, you don't limit yourself to one bait. So why limit your sonar? Exclusive Humminbird SwitchFire Sonar gives you the power to choose how returns are displayed. With two unique modes, you have complete control to adjust with the fishing conditions, making our down-looking sonar an even more valuable fishfinding tool.

798ci HD SI Combo Down Imaging
Down Imaging lets you see the detail of what is happening below your boat.
798ci HD SI Combo Side Imaging
Side Imaging Sonar, with its amazingly clear, picture-like images of fish, the bottom and structure, is the ultimate structure-finding tool.
798ci HD SI Combo Split Screen
Split-screen feature.
Sonar Recording and Snapshots

Sonar Recordings save digital sonar information so you can play it back onscreen, and even fine tune the unit's settings to see what else the returns reveal. Snapshots are like a digital picture of the screen and can be saved anytime you mark a hotspot.

Split Screen Zoom

Split Screen Zoom increases the displayed resolution to separate sonar returns that are very close together. In this view, the display is split to show a narrow slice of the full range view on the right and the zoomed view on the left. The zoom preview box on the right tracks the bottom in the full range view.

Freeze Frame/Structure Marking

Pressing any arrow on the four-way cursor control instantly stops the sonar graphic display to allow a closer inspection of submerged structure, bait fish, and underwater contours. Movable cursor feature allows you to instantly discern depth of any sonar return and mark waypoints from the sonar screen for navigation. Pressing the EXIT key will exit the freeze frame and the display will start to resume scrolling. Mark the location of fish-attracting structure, bottom transitions, or any feature anywhere on traditional sonar with the Sonar Cursor.

Selective Fish ID+

Fish ID+ uses advanced sonar processing to interpret sonar returns, and displays a Fish Symbol when very selective requirements are met. When a fish is detected, a fish icon and its depth are displayed above the return that has been classified as being a fish. Three different fish icons represent intensity of the sonar return, and provide an indicator of relative fish size.

Real Time Sonar (RTS) Window

A Real Time Sonar (RTS) Window appears on the right side of the display in the Sonar View only. The RTS Window always updates at the fastest rate possible and shows only the returns from the bottom, structure, and fish that are within the transducer beam. The RTS window can be displayed as narrow (standard), wide, or off.

Sonar Echo Enhancement

Sonar Echo Enhancement shows fish, bait, and more--even watch your vertical jigging on-screen. This is possible through advanced sonar processing and provides the details you want and need. It's important to know what depth the fish are located and equally important to be able to place your lure at that precise depth. Be careful! You may jerk the rod early while watching the screen instead of waiting for the actual bite.

TreuArch Technology

Many competitive sonar products commonly use post processing software to "enhance" the arching effect produced when suspended targets enter and leave a sonar beam. This additional processing can slow down performance and exaggerate the information displayed. Humminbird�s TrueArch Technology utilizes parallel processing of sonar data to eliminate unwanted interference and noise and reveal unaltered sonar echoes resulting in true arches of fish targets. This helps anglers more quickly discern the size and depth of fish targets.

Built-In U.S. ContourXD Maps

Humminbird has upgraded the free, built-in cartography software on the 900 series Combo models. All-new ContourXD by Navionics is an enhanced, professional mapping package. With over 3,000 U.S. lake maps in the database, you will be able to find a lake close to any location you might want to wet a line. As an added bonus, ContourXD maps will feature depth contour lines, so you can find all the drops, bumps and channels holding fish. The maps will also include U.S. lights/markers, and major roads and interstates. Fish like a pro on your home lake, or a lake far from home, thanks to Humminbird ContourXD.
