new Lowrance Elite 4 and Mark 4 HDI
Lowrance has the
newest addition to its Elite and Mark family of compact fishfinder and chartplotter
products, the Elite-4 and Mark-4 Hybrid Dual Imaging™ (HDI) series.
Setting a new
performance standard for affordably priced navigation and
fishfinder electronics, the new HDI units feature a built-in GPS antenna, high-definition mapping
options, and the Lowrance exclusive Hybrid Dual Imaging technology that
combines Broadband SounderTM and Downscan Imaging for the best possible view beneath your boat.
Replacing previous Lowrance
Elite-4 and Mark-4 models, the larger and super-bright Elite 4.3-inch colour and Mark
grayscale displays have 70-percent more pixels and 36-percent more useable
screen area. Available in fishfinder-only, chartplotter-only (HD)
and fishfinder/chartplotter combo models, the new addition to the Lowrance HDI series
offers a full selection of top-performing sonar and navigation features in an easy-to-operate, space-saving design.
Built into the new
Lowrance HDI Skimmer® transducer design, Broadband Sounder
technology is ideal for marking fish arches and tracking lure action, while Downscan
Imaging provides easy-to-understand, picture-like views of structure and bottom
detail. With the exclusive Lowrance Downscan Overlay feature, boaters can combine
the Downscan Imaging view with the Broadband Sounder recording for a stunning presentation that
separates and clearly exposes fish targets from surrounding structure. Overlay
transparency is fully adjustable.
Lowrance’s Advanced Signal
Processing (ASP) maximizes fishing time by reducing the need to manually adjust
settings to see fish, structure and bottom detail more clearly. Exclusive TrackBackTM functionality allows anglers to scroll back in recorded
sonar history to review structure, transitions and fish targets, and pinpoint
locations with a waypoint (on chartplotter models) — eliminating the need to
circle back and retrace their path.
All Elite-4 and Mark-4 HDI models with chartplotter
capability feature a highly accurate built-in GPS antenna. A micro SD card can be used to display Navionics® Gold,
HotMaps® Premium and Jeppesen C-Map MAX-N charts. All HDI/HD chartplotter
models are compatible with the new online Insight Genesis™ map creation
service, which allows users to make their own custom, high-resolution contour,
bottom hardness and vegetation maps from recorded sonar logs.
The Elite-4 HDI line consists
of Elite-4x HDI fishfinder-only, Elite-4m HD chartplotter-only and Elite-4 HDI combination
models. The Mark-4 HDI is available as a fishfinder/chartplotter combination
unit only. Elite-4
and Mark-4 HDI models with chartplotter capability feature a
highly accurate built-in GPS antenna. A
C-Map bundle model is also available and includes C-Map MAX-N charts covering
all of Asia Pacific including Australia and New Zealand.
Optional charting upgrades are also available with Navionics® Gold and HotMaps®
Premium, and C-Map MAX-N Wide (via micro SD card).
Protected by a one-year limited
warranty and the Lowrance Advantage Service program, the Elite-4 and Mark-4 HDI
series can be purchased from authorised Lowrance dealers and distributors
beginning in January 2014. Lowrance Elite-4 HDI combo models range in price starting
