Lowrance HDS-10 Fishfinder/GPS Chartplotter For Serious Fishermen

By Rodger G Allenby

The personal needs and tastes of people differ in all things. This is especially true when it comes to technology. What works for one person may not work for another. Take for example fish finders.

The fish finder that a recreational fisherman uses, is not going to be the same one that professionals use. The guy or gal who fishes just a few times a year is not going to want to pay $2,549.99 for the state of the art Lowrance HDS-10 Fishfinder/GPS Chartplotter. It is not economically feasible for them to do so unless they just really want to spend that kind of cash.

A Better Fishfinder

Comparing the Lowrance HDS-10 Fishfinder/GPS Chartplotter to other fish finders on the market is akin to saying that all boats are alike. The fish finders of the past were black and white digital readouts of water terrain with the occasional fish like shape swimming into view.

If you were lucky, the fish finder would show the temperature of the water and at what depth the fish were staying at so you could cast your line or net accordingly.

Pre-Loaded With GPS Maps

This is simply not the case with the HDS-10. This fish finder comes pre-loaded with GPS maps of the surrounding area as seen from above and it also comes with information about the area where you are fishing.

Plus, you can keep track of where your best fishing has occurred thanks to its SD memory slots. If you are worried about being able to read the screen, then stop worrying because it has a 10.4" VGA color display that allows you to see it in the daylight or at night.

As of May 15, 2009 it became completely compatible with Navionics, which means you can buy and download additional maps for wherever you are fishing. There are some price variations for the Lowrance HDS-10 Fishfinder/GPS Chartplotter. It really comes down to the kilohertz and the type of base-map system you want.

More Features For A Lower Price

If you review your options and elect to go with the lower end model, then it just offers the enhanced US base-map for $2,299.99, yet you still get all of the great features of even the slightly higher priced models.

All in all this is definitely a top of the line model that serious fishermen can really sink their teeth or hooks into.
