Lowrance GeoFence
HDS units sold in the USA and Canada have GeoFence protection. Take the device outside North America and a grey message stays on the screen: “Unit not valid for use in this area”. The display then works with limits:
No charts on the screen
No metric units
English is the only menu language
We make a code for your unit. Once you enter it, the device becomes a global version and works in any country. The standard language pack turns on as well:
Afrikaans, Danish, German, English (US), English (UK), Spanish, Finnish, French, Greek, Icelandic, Italian, Dutch, Norwegian, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Portugal), Swedish.
How it works
All we need is the request code your device shows. Every unit has its own.
01
Find the code in the settings of your display and send it with the form below. The GeoFence page shows where to look, screen by screen.
02
We check the service, your device model and the code with you by email or phone.
03
We make the code from your request code and send it by email. You type it in once.
You enter the code one time. It keeps working after a factory reset and after software updates.
Lowrance language packs
The standard pack comes with the GeoFence code on HDS. On Elite, Hook, Eagle and Simrad it is already on. Other languages come in three extra packs, and each device can take one of them.
01
