The Lowrance Mark-4 HDI is a revamped version of the well-known Mark-4 and Mark-4 DSI models. The Mark-4 HDI combines both models into one, thus it includes the original SONAR as well as the DSI’s DownScan SONAR. To round things off, it is considerably less expensive than other versions with comparable technology. Of course, the display is tiny and black and white, but don’t be fooled; it still packs a punch and is ideal for tight budgets or small boats.
Larger screen size:
The Mark-4 HDI features a 30 percent larger screen than the original Mark-4 series. At just over 4 inches, this guy is about the size of an iPhone screen, which should be acceptable viewing when mounted on the dash or nearby – it’s not a monster like the HDS, which you can see from across your boat, but it should suffice for weekend fishing trips this summer!
DownScan overlay:
You may overlay DownScan SONAR and regular SONAR on one big display, as shown in the picture above. This way you can get the most out of both systems since DownScan is better equipped to find structure and regular SONAR is better equipped to find individual fish.
Highly detailed mapping:
The Mark-4 HDI is a small but mean GPS and mapping device, with options to add further chips for expanded maps, such as Lake InsightTM and Nautic InsightTM PRO and HD, Navionics® Gold, HotMaps® Premium. The default map contains data for over 300 US lakes and waterways.
