Cheers,
I noticed during a recent night passage that Lowrance HDS does not display AIS traffic when in night mode. I guess someone forgot to test this basic functionality before releasing the software. So be aware! - Perttu Edited by Perttu - 23 July 2014 at 18:24 |

Which HDS are you using, Series 1 or Series 2?
Are you using the latest software upgrade which I think was issued in May 2014. From memory, I think it is version 2.5 for the HDS 8m Series 2. Charles |

In my case that would be series 1 and with the latest software from 2012. I did update when installed AIS transponder.

I did some more testing on this.
Actually targets are displayed in night mode as well. But the problem is that you could see them only in shallow water since they are by default white triangels! So in deep waters in the open sea you will not see the targets. Edited by Perttu - 06 August 2014 at 20:46 |

I do not like night mode. I turn down the brightness instead.
Maybe you can change the colours? Charles |
