lowrance updates

I've been trying to download the updates to the hds from the lowrance website and can't get it to download. Is it just me or something wrong with the site? I'm not too good with computers so its probably me but just checking. Thanks!

Sam, I had some trouble when I loaded mine too but it was some little something I was doing wrong causing my trouble. Im trying to remember exactly what it was. I think I was trying to download to my computer then on to the card, but I finally had to download directly to the card or something like that. You have to do it strickly by the directions or it wont work.There was some step too you have to take once you have it, but cant remember exactly what it is.I stayed with it till I figured it out, so hang in there. :)

go to the Lowrance website it tell you exactly how to do it

I downloaded the last up date with no problems, been a couple monts ago. but I do remember you skip or forget a step it's all over again, I think I had the sd card in the slot before I started.

There are two ways to do it, and it's pretty common to select the wrong one. You can either download the update directly to your card in update format, or you can download an executable to your PC which you have to run. Running the exe creates the update files that need to go on the card.
