How to create custom-colored depth ranges on Insight Genesis maps

At a glance, Premium Insight Genesis subscribers can now more quickly identify dangerously shallow areas, more efficiently troll the most productive portions of the water column, and more easily find fish-holding high spots surrounded by deeper water.

All that and more is now possible thanks to a new feature that allows Premium subscribers to select and set custom color palettes to highlight multiple depth ranges on the Insight Genesis maps they use on their compatible Lowrance HDS and Simrad sonar/GPS units.*

It’s said that at any given time, 90% of the fish are in 10% of the lake — with this new feature, you’ll be able to easily highlight that fish-holding 10% on your map and catch more and bigger fish.

Pro Tip: Synch your HDS unit with Motorguide’s new xi5 Pinpoint Lowrance Gateway, and you can easily set your trolling motor to autopilot your boat to follow your custom-color-shaded depth contours

For the sake of example, we’ll imagine a use-case scenario in which we’ve determined, after three consecutive days of practicing for a late-summer bass tournament on Minnesota’s Lake Minnetonka, that largemouth bass are biting in 12 to 17 feet of water and that smallmouth bass are biting in 21 to 27 feet. To help us more easily target those “fish here” depth ranges in our hypothetical tournament, we’re going to customize them with the attention-grabbing colors of gold and magenta. And to help us prevent shearing off our lower unit or getting stuck, we’ll use a custom red color palette to highlight a no-go/danger depth range.
