LOWRANCE has announced innovative new software enhancements for its powerful HDS Gen2 Touch touchscreen and HDS Gen2 multifunction displays.
Available as a free online download, enhancements with the new 2.0 software for the Gen2 Touch and Gen2 series include GoFree Wireless compatibility, Chart Sharing, Depth Contour Shading, StructureMap HD, extensive mapping options and a host of performance improvements. In addition, the Gen2 Version 2.0 update brings existing advanced features of the newer Touch series to HDS Gen2 users.
The HDS Gen2 Touch and Gen2 Version 2.0 updates provide support for cutting-edge Lowrance technology. Offering an exciting new level of navigational control, the Gen2 Touch and Gen2 update supports GoFree Wireless integration that enables wireless connectivity between the displays and supported tablets, mobile phones and computers.
While the HDS Gen2 Version 2.0 software allows viewing the display remotely on a supported device, users with an HDS Gen2 Touch, Version 2.0 software and compatible tablet can wirelessly view and control their displays and fully interface with engine data, fuel information sensors and transducers, to name a few.
Offering both navigational and sonar enhancements, both updates include chart-sharing capability, which allows maps on memory cards to be shared across the Ethernet network for viewing on multiple HDS Gen2 or Gen2 Touch chartplotter displays. The new Version 2.0 software also features StructureMap HD capability allowing users to convert recorded StructureScan HD sonar longs into high-definition underwater maps. A StructureMap can be viewed as a chart overlay, and toggled on and off to provide the ultimate in situational awareness in relation to both chart and bottom detail.
The feature-packed Lowrance HDS Gen2 Touch and HDS Gen2 Version 2.0 software can be downloaded at no cost from www.lowrance.com/en-US/Software-Updates/.
