Lowrance HDS-9 Carbon GPS/Fishfinder

Maximum power, maximum visibility

The new Lowrance HDS-9 Carbon GPS/Fishfinder
combines an ultra-clear SolarMAX HD display with a new dual core
high-performance processor, leading-edge fishfinder technology dual
channel CHIRP and dual network sounder using the latest advances in
integrated wireless service tools. This means more agility, speed
and brute power all in one easy-to-use multi-touch display.

The HDS-9 Carbon features a new 9-inch ultra-clear SolarMAX HD
multi-touch display that uses high-bright LED backlighting and
advanced anti-reflective coatings to create wider viewing angles in
any lighting condition. Only in HDS Carbon will you find superior
colour accuracy and a boosted high-resolution viewing panels
specifically designed to truly maximise today’s leading sonar.

Loaded with dual core high performance processor, HDS Carbon
delivers faster redraw speeds and quicker response times for
dual-channel CHIRP sonar, dual network sounder views, StructureScan
3D and StructureMap plus split-screen views showing all this and
mapping at the same time; it has enough reserve brute strength to
drive future high powered fishfinding upgrades.

The HDS Carbon can view and control Mercury VesselView Link, be
paired with Power-Pole shallow-water anchors, and control
SmartSteer trolling motor/outboard motors. An expansive list of
safety and entertainment plug-ins are also available to complete
your network. You can navigate easily with HDS Carbon behind proven
Lowrance navigation, a 10 Hz internal GPS antenna and a multitude
of mapping options accessible from the unit’s dual microSD card
slots or via wireless download from GoFree Shop. The
Lowrance HDS-9 Carbon GPS/Fishfinder is simply the
most versatile combo available today!

Easy to see
9-inch, LED-backlit, multi-touch, SolarMAX HD display. SolarMAX HD
touchscreens produce wider viewing angles from anywhere in sight.
Using a unique balance of high-bright LED backlight and advanced
anti-reflective coatings along with superior colour accuracy and a
boosted high-resolution viewing panel, a wider operating
temperature range and added moisture-proof optical layers produce
clear visibility in any lighting situation.

Simple to use
Unique Lowrance interface featuring quick-response touchscreen or
keypad control, intuitive software and protective coatings deliver
performance in the most rugged on-the-water conditions.
Lightning-fast, fingertip access to all HDS Carbon features.

Dual-Core, High Performance Processor
HDS Carbon employs a dual-core, high performance processor with
more than enough agility, speed and power providing faster redraws
and quicker response times to easily drive today’s best technology,
like StructureScan 3D, Mercury VesselView Link and the Lowrance
Outboard pilot. And it has enough reserve brute strength to drive
future high powered fishfinding technologies, too.

Dual-Channel CHIRP Sonar
Never miss fish targets with two CHIRP frequency channels at the
same time low, medium or high. Keep favourite high CHIRP frequency
visible for increased target separation close to the bottom or in
tight schools and now view the low frequency channel at the same
time to cover more of the water column with wider and deeper cone
angles.

Dual Network Sonar Views
Cover more water and mark fish targets more clearly from a network
of CHIRP sonar transducers. Watch sonar views from bow-mounted
transducer and the in-hull or transom-mounted transducer at the
same time on the same display.

Most Advanced Fishfinder Technology
Simultaneously view CHIRP Sonar with StructureScan 3D or
StructureScan HD to get the best possible view of fish and
structure, below and to the sides of your boat. (StructureScan
transducer required)

Quickly make adjustments
The HDS Carbon has a high performance processor that produces
lightning quick redraw speeds and faster sonar updates. It easily
powers Carbon’s intuitive user-interface that includes scrolling
menus, cursor assist, snap-to setting markers and innovative
preview panes with quick-touch slider bars.

Stay connected
Integrated wireless connectivity with the Lowrance GoFree App and
other onboard devices, allows you to download software updates and
map purchases ─ for immediate use ─ in addition to viewing and/or
controlling the display wirelessly using supported tablets and
smartphones.

Network all components
Plug-and-play compatibility with Lowrance performance modules,
including Broadband Radar, SonicHub 2 Marine Audio, SiriusXM Marine
Weather and audio, Class B AIS and DSC VHF, as well as
industry-leading technologies, like Mercury VesselView Link,
Bluetooth control of Power-Pole shallow water anchors equipped with
the C-Monster Control System and the SmartSteer interface,
featuring control of MotorGuide Xi5 trolling motor and the Lowrance
Outboard Pilot.

Wireless Diagnostic Tools
The Network Analyser detects devices with out-of-date software,
while the Service Assistant allows users to send a detailed report
of networked devices to Navico Service for quicker resolution of
software/technical issues.
