Lowrance launches three-dimensional sonar

Lowrance has announced the release of what the company says is a game-changing, sonar-imaging system –the Lowrance StructureScan 3D.

Lowrance StructureScan 3D allows anglers to easily see fish, underwater structure and bottom contours in a three-dimensional display on their HDS Gen3 fishfinder/chartplotter.

StructureScan 3D imaging quickly scans underwater terrain and fish-holding structure to create high-resolution, 180-degree super-wide, three-dimensional views – in depths to 90 metres and as far as 180 metres port and starboard. Yielding captivating images with unprecedented detail, StructureScan 3D gives anglers a better understanding of where fish and structures are located in relation to their boat.

The true-to-life 3D scans are viewed on the Lowrance HDS Gen3 display, when used in combination with the SideScan 3D Skimmer transducer and StructureScan 3D module – making HDS Gen3 the ultimate fishfinder.

StructureScan 3D sonar provides multiple viewing options including boosted DownScan Imaging, even more detailed StructureScan HD and the new revolutionary three-dimensional views. Using virtual point-of-view angles or ScanTrack pan-tilt-rotate control, anglers can combine custom HD and 3D views to increase situational awareness and search fishing areas as never before.

In addition to outstanding crystal-clear imaging, StructureScan 3D has many other exclusive features that make finding fish even easier.

"With StructureScan 3D, anglers can search for fish and underwater structure like never before," said Leif Ottosson, CEO and president, Navico. "With the addition of StructureScan 3D to our HDS Gen3 range, we will change the way people fish. Giving anglers a unique three-dimensional view of fish, structure and contours maximizes anglers time on the water and keeps them in the strike zone."

Scheduled to be available around December 2015, Lowrance StructureScan 3D can be purchased from authorised Lowrance dealers and distributors throughout Australia and is priced at $1439 for the module and Skimmer transducer kit.
