We are pleased to announce the release of NOS 18.2 software, another free upgrade from Lowrance® that includes new features and functionality for Elite Ti fishfinder/chartplotters.
This release includes the following new features and software improvements:
- Genesis Live mapping
- Yamaha Integration (Phase 2)
- Evinrude Engine Integration
C-MAP Genesis Live
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 make it easy to find areas where fish like to hide, like standing timber, drop-offs, points, weedbeds and more. Genesis Live maps can be saved to a SD or microSD card.
