I down loaded the new update on my SD card today but on my computer I did not have to down load it from a zip file.
It said it down loaded it on the SD card and the unit shows the new update,but everything that I have read says to do it through a zip file
Just wondering if it down loaded it correctly.
Anybody else ever ran into this before?
Mine down loaded as a UPD file.
Right.. it’s a UDP file and,load it as download. No unzipping.
Yeah its dowloaded right. Mine didnt automaticlly start had to manually start the install.

I rebooted my unit with the update on the sd card and it automatically updated.
It’s a pretty sweet update!
I guess I will find out how good it is this week.
I have a new Gen3-12 inch that's suppose to be here Monday or Tuesday and I will make sure it has the new update on it also.
Will just have to take a day off from fishing this week to install it.
Already installed it on my HDS9's.
Not impressed. The waypoints will not work with .usr. Barkley has so many trash fish it was a mess. reloaded 2 versions back.
Uhmmm...are you sure its the new update thats the problem?Quote:

I have experienced bad update's from Lowrance before and had to backload. I hope this is not going to be one of them. I should be able to try it out this week to check it out.
Well the reason I asked is, the last post he started, he asked about uploading usr points. That was 4 days before the update came out.

Whether the update works great for me or not, it's a plus. I bought my unit and it didn't have this feature so the fact that they came back later and gave everyone this feature free of charge.. that's pretty good in my book.
I have been using Lowrance for 7 years with HDS. 4962 waypoints. My new 12 unit came with 6.0 version. Usr files will not upload. 2 hours on phone with tech and best they said was download .gpx and convert using babel. That does not work either. That was strange to me. Justin found a website with older version so Iinstalled 5.0 and all my .usr files load. Put 7.0 on and fish reveal looks like a lot of clutter on Barkley. .usr files do not work again. Reloaded 5.0 and .usr files work great. ftp://software.lowrance.com/ I may have a corrupt file but went back years on usr and no luck. Lot of chatter on other sites about .usr files not loading. Me thinks C-Map is coming for lowrance!

That would be an issue with your unit if it did it with the prior update. I would downgrade the updates, like you did, then try to reload them in order. I cant remember exactly what it said, but there was something about required updates in the info like cant go from 5 to 7. Make sure you follow whatever it said. I playrd with fish reveal for 8 or 10 hours saturday and it adjusts different now. Its more like hummingbird with contrast and sensitivity. (Contrast and colorcast it believe) I love it.

I reloaded the 5.192 sowtware and it works great with waypoints I think they are forcing a different format to run c-map. Going up the chain at tech now that I have more intel on my end. I had to do a hard reset to reload software backwards. Also going to try and create some waypoints out of unit and reload waypoints straight back. Did not work last time.
We have 3 lowrance units and the only issues we have had with waypoint have been through an installation networking issue we didnt notice. The problems we had though appeared tk be compatibility. Once I removed the unit I was using from the network it had no issues. All of our waypoints are converted between Humminbird and Lowrance because we scout from the console with Lowrance and fish with Humminbird. You can reinstall software on Lowrance by using the same name as the newest but adding a letter to it. Their tech will walk you through downgrading versions if need be. We had to before finding the problem.

Does it give a specific fault or alarm? Or are they just not there?

On a 7 TI I downloaded fish reveal and went to a lake today and used it off and on for about 5 hrs. Kept my waypoints also as they are all there. To get rid of the clutter, just had to adjust sensitivity alittle and contrast just a notch. Seems to work ok and I like it, but need to use it again and play with settings. Got blowed off the lake by 18 mph winds gusting to 25.
Hey Semo, thanks for trying to help. What units are you running and what software version is in them?
Carbons 12x2, hds gen3 12, hb solix 12

Hey Semo, next time you save your waypoints to a card see if you can reload them. I may have a bad unit. This is a HDS 12 gen3 not a carbon. Had the first one rattling inside and sent it back. I use Navplanner to wrangle waypoints. Thanks for the help. Dang feller you gots some TVs hanging off that ride!!
Im just the driver/engineer on this ride....not the bank roll

I've been reading on this, you're not the only one. Looking like it has something to do with output format. I did waypoint and settings before the update and reloaded fine. Used waypoints from last year saturday.

Gen 3 spec.( Waypoints, Routes, Tracks = 3000 Waypoints, 100 Routes and 100 Trails with up to 10,000 points per trail ). Maybe my problem. 4968 waypoints
