I was just wondering the same thing. I have the Elite 5 but without the DSI. Will this update work on mine?

It will probably do more for you than those who have the DSI model.

Well, someone liked my Elite 5 DSI too much they broke into my boat and stole it and all my fishing rods and most of my lures. I was just starting to figure out how to use the thing.

Sorry to hear that. I really, really do HATE thieves.

Oops... I just asked this question in the "RF Interference" section before I saw this specific area...

Do the Lowrance Elite 5 DSI FF/Chartplotters have thesame problem with interference as the Humminbird DI units? I use a Minn Kota VariableSpeed TM.

Thanks,

I have a Terrova I use with mine and have no problems at all (except I can't get out fishing as much as I would like).

Please correct me /inform if you can.....if the transucer is attached to the trolling motor, can you raise the motor and leave the unit on and the GPS portion will still function properly?

Yes, Tommy ... it will. The GPS/Chartplotter function is seperate from the transducer/DF functions. It gets all its info from the internal (or external) antenna, so it will still show position & speed correctly.
