A Review of Lowrance HDS-5m Multifunction GPS Device
The Lowrance GPS is one of the best rated fish finding devices. With preloaded maps and a life-like view of underwater activity, this will enhance any fishing or boating trip.
A few specs include a large 5 inch screen for viewing. The display window can be resized or even turned into a split screen. With 23 languages already preloaded to choose from, you can also upgrade the GPS through their website,
www.lowrance.com . A memory card is optional to ensure you have every map you need. This helps so you won't have to reload maps before each trip.
Great for night navigation, or even morning fishing. Whatever the need, no matter the boat outing, this GPS will do it. Navigating you to a fishing hole with high definition fish finding, or just getting you back home. Choose between the overhead or perspective mode to view the life like lands and waters. It also has a feature that will allow you to search over 100,000 lakes and bodies of water. With a very accurate and detailed shoreline and contours of over 4,000 lakes. And even use the Exclusive Fishing Hot Spots feature that will show you marked fishing areas, boat launches and fish habitat areas.
