Thanks JW.
thanks, just saw your post and will check it out before the playoff game starts.
This is the link to the Gen 2 units. Think I will hold off until I see how well it performs. I did not see a lot of change to my HDS7 touch features, but I may have missed something.
HDS Gen2 Touch Software Update (5.0) - LOWRANCE | Marine Electronics
Never seen much need for any of the updates myself , I'm happy with the way mine work and haven't done any updates in over a year , I'm not a computer guy so the updates seem to cause more problems for me than it's worth , is it really nessarry to do the updates or not ? Maybe someone with more computer skills can shed some light on this subjectQuote:

Gonna get me the 3D unit ASAP.
This update also allows for the main engine steering module and the Power Pole use.
Will the Gen 2 units be able to run 3d?
That I'm not sure about. Should say on Lowrance's website. I think they will tho.Quote:

I just went and read the update. Yes they do handle the new 3D module.
That's awesome. That 3d scan is pretty cool.
Just talked with Lowrance and the HDS Gen 2 does NOT work with 3D Structure Scan!
That sucks.
Yea, my rep told me that yesterday also. Sorry for the bad info.Attachment 225923Attachment 225925Quote:
