As an avid angler, I recently had the pleasure of testing out the Lowrance HDS PRO 10 fish finder, and let me tell you, this gadget is a game-changer. If fish had a "hide and seek" championship, they'd be in serious trouble with this device around! Setup and Installation: Setting up the HDS PRO 10 was a breeze.

Display and Interface: The 10-inch display is bright and clear, even in direct sunlight. The touchscreen interface is responsive and intuitive, making it easy to navigate through the various features. It's like having a mini aquarium on your boat, but without the need to feed the fish. Performance and Features: The HDS PRO 10 comes packed with features that will make any angler's heart skip a beat. The CHIRP sonar provides incredibly detailed images of the underwater world, and the StructureScan 3D gives you a 3D view of the fish and structures below.

The preloaded C-MAP charts are a great addition, and you can even update them with new maps.

Okay, LOVE THIS THING! Overall, this is an outstanding value for the money. When I compared it to other manufacturers with similar offerings, this unit offered more options for a slightly lower price. The one negative is that the manuals are very vague, especially the installation manual. I watched some YouTube videos to learn how to install it. I am using it on a fishing Kayak, and the screen size is perfect. I have used it twice now, and the picture quality is excellent. I also love having the ability to run the sonar sidescan and downscan screens simultaneously. I am really pleased with the layout and function overall. Even though I am still learning, it has been very easy to set up and use. It was nice to get on the fish and catch them, then paddle around beating dead water, not knowing if there were any fish there... I still have a lot to learn to use it to its maximum, but right out of the box, "after figuring out how to install it," it has been a dream! I love the ability to expand and add Active Target. Even just the 3 -1 is outstanding!

Very reliable and accurate for inshore or offshore. Best bang for the buck$ unless you just want a bigger screen for a permanent in-console mount.

Shame that no zero-star rating is possible. They sell you a super-expensive item that serves as a chartplotter on large boats, BUT they DO NOT TELL YOU that it can work only within the Amercia, and it BECOMES INACTIVE once you cross the ocean. Go for Furuno or Humminbird instead.

Love it! Takes fishing to the next level!

Still having slow mechanics get bottom end fixed to get on water but little discouraged with Lowrance. I fish by myself most the time and have hands full working lines for trout/salmon on Lake Ontario plus don't have the best memory. Purchased whole Lowrance system and scrapped my Sitex Autopilot to update and for support and one doesn't even get a hardcopy user manual to keep onboard/hand for quick look up til get used navigating layers and screens. So much for legendary support. Don't really want to be fumbling w my phone hoping for charge and reception and unit and lines looking up every little thing. And reading in manual makes me remember things better guess printed manuals thing of past.

These are so much easier to use than their old units. I used to be a huge Garmin fan but now I'm equally on board with lowrance. The boat I bought had all lowrance so in order to maintain communications I bought these. I was a bit nervous because I did not like the lcx-113 interfaces. When I powered these up they were so much easier to use and the nmea-2k network worked like a charm.

It does it’s job
