Target Fish Live with New ActiveTarget® 2 and ActiveTarget® Live Sonar
Fish smarter when you know exactly what fish are doing – in real time – with ActiveTarget® 2 and ActiveTarget® Live Sonar. Enjoy high-resolution views of fish movements, tracking them in forward, down and scout views, as they swim around structure and cover. Watch their real-time response to your lure and you will know if your current technique is working or if it’s time to switch things up. Get a more complete picture around your boat with new ActiveTarget® 2, which delivers a smoother, more consistent image across the entire range.

Active Imaging
Perfect for pinpointing fish-holding areas like rockpiles, standing timber, weedbeds, ditches and drop-offs, Active Imaging™ sonar delivers superior clarity and the highest resolution images of fish and structure at a longer range than any other structure-imaging technology.

FishReveal
Makes fish easier to see on DownScan Imaging™ by combining CHIRP sonar fish targets with superior, high-resolution views of bottom detail, structure and bait fish. FishReveal removes the need to display CHIRP sonar and DownScan Imaging in a two-panel split-screen.

Mapping in Real-Time
Update the mapping of your favorite fishing spot or map unmapped areas with ½ foot contours – in real time – on the screen of your fishfinder/chartplotter with C-MAP Genesis Live. Genesis Live uses digital depth to create high-definition maps featuring 1/2-foot contours. Target key fishing areas with Genesis Live maps, which makes it easy to find areas where fish like to hide, like drop-offs, points, ditches and more. A truly customizable mapping experience, Genesis Live gives you control over contour transparency, contour density, depth and safety shading color palettes, and more. Create your Genesis Live maps in real-time, saving them as you go to a microSD card.

Smartphone Notifications
Keep your eyes on the fish and never miss an important text or call with smartphone notifications built into HDS LIVE. Turn off phone notifications for uninterrupted fishing, or leave them on to receive popup notifications on the screen of your HDS LIVE display.
