Lowrance software update makes fish easy to see

Lowrance has released a new software update called FishReveal for its HDS Carbon, HDS Gen3 and Elite-Ti displays that includes sonar enhancements and improvements for C-MAP charting.

At the heart of the release is FishReveal designed to make fish easier to see on DownScan Imaging. The soiftware upgrade also includes significant enhancements to StructureScan 3D and StructureScan HD; plus, a new, easy-to-interpret C-MAP navigation palette.

FISHREVEAL
FishReveal is a described as a "massive leap forward in fish finding technology" that allows anglers to quickly and easily discover how fish orient themselves in and around cover and structure, with clearly defined fish arches.

Unlike traditional CHIRP views that provide strong fish targets but lack refined structure detail, or DownScan Imaging that provides photo-like images of bottom and structure details but show fish targets as tiny dots, Lowrance says its new FishReveal offers smart target viewing with the best data from both technologies, eliminating the need for split-screen viewing and interpretation.

HIGH-VIS COLOUR SONAR
Lowrance says you can now see fish and fish-holding structure like never before with its new High-Visibility Colour Sonar exclusive to HDS Carbon. High-Visibility Colour is said to deliver industry-leading clarity and range, with near-photographic images to each side and below your boat.

By making full use of the dynamic colour spectrum, SideScan, DownScan Imaging and StructureScan 3D can now produce richer images with greatly enhanced detail and better contrast.

High-Visibility Colour automatically enhances brightness in darker areas, while simultaneously preventing overexposure in brighter areas. This extends the visible range, making it possible to see what is in the shadows close to the boat or more than 100 feet away.

C-MAP NAVIGATION
C-MAP charts now enjoy a major upgrade in readability. This is most apparent near shore, where the colours used for land, docks, anchorage areas, water, and channels are differentiated and contour lines are distinct. The new palette makes it easier to see where the boat is in relation to a channel, navaid, ledges and drop-offs, or a point of land. The colour scheme is also much easier on the eye, Lowrance adds.
