Lowrance HDS expands your world of high-detail, high-definition 3D charting options with total compatibility for all 2009 (and earlier) Navionics® chartcards.
LOWRANCE MAPS HDS 8 PRO
Here is a great video of how Mike Iaconelli used C-MAP during the 2019 Bassmaster Classic. HDS Charting Options Go All-Platinum Your trusted favorites in Lowrance 2D mapping choices, like Fishing Hot Spots® PRO and LakeMaster® ProMaps are fully functional with HDS. The state C-MAPs are $149 at these retailers: I plan to pickup the North Carolina chip before my next trip out there and already have the Alabama chip on order. I am very happy with the Lowrance C-MAP Precision Contour Maps for Tennessee. The 1-foot intervals, custom satellite imagery for finding things like docks and laydowns, points of interest and more help me really dive into the fisheries on these cards. I think that’s the biggest testament to these map cards. Here we have Down Scan on left and top and GPS with the numbers of this tree on the map. With the HDS 8 and the HDS 10, you can split the screen up to four ways. The picture above is a tree on the bottom and there are NO fish in it anywhere.

It has given me so much more to explore on lakes I’ve already logged thousands of hours scanning. This is a full screen of the new Lowrance Down Scan and you can see the fish around the brush. Just a little deeper ditch swinging in next to a high spot, little rises that might catch a bit more current or flats adjacent to points and drops that will hold fish at key times of the year. The biggest thing I found was how much subtle areas showed up on the Lowrance C-MAP Precision Contour chip. I wanted to share some of the settings I’ve found that work for me and how I’ve been able to get the most out of these new mapping options from Lowrance. And how much the custom shading options have helped me rethink both my shallow and deep fishing for bass, crappie, bluegill and more on the lakes I fish. I have been pretty blown away about some of the spots that are detailed on this card that did not show up accurately on other maps. I have been using the Tennessee card to fish bodies of water like Kentucky Lake, Lake Barkley and Dale Hollow Reservoir. Right now there are map cards for Tennessee, Alabama and North Carolina with more states being mapped as we speak. The C-MAP Precision Contour Maps offer very defined, custom surveyed and accurately updated information for bodies of water across the country. When splitting the screen into different views, you can easily change the size of each window if you prefer to view sonar, SideScan, DownScan, mapping, gauges in larger windows. Mapping options have drastically improved for popular bass fishing and other gamefish bodies of water across the country in the last 5 years and Lowrance has ramped up their custom mapping with the new Lowrance C-Map Precision Contour Maps for Lowrance fish finders. The Lowrance HDS 8 has a large 8.4 display for clear viewing. Mapping is a big part of fishing from a boat on larger lakes and reservoirs.
