Can I update my HELIX 10 CHIRP MEGA SI GPS G2N and HELIX 12 CHIRP MEGA DI GPS G2N with the same SD card ?
You can, but personally I would only put one update on the card at one time. These units are a little too fickle
Make sure you have a previous update to go back to. 1.61 or 1.64 as there have been numerous problems with 1.83 or 1.84 which ever you need to use. Check the discussions on bassboat central forum.
Thanks fellas. I have been following some chatter on updates. Haven't pulled the trigger yet...
I haven’t either and don’t think I will take the chance. Not only is hummingbird having issues with last update so is Lowrance.
There is no issue with the Humminbird update if you READ and FOLLOW the directions on Humminbirds website.
Wait, wait! We are supposed to read directions? No wonder I have to rely on Rick to square me away (smile).Quote:

I followed the directions exactly for my Helix 5 and my Helix 7 for the 1.83 upgrade. The Helix 7 SI G2 went perfectly, The Helix 5 DI G2 is looney tunes. the depth reading turns on and off, fluctuates all over the place, won't hold the course up setting for more than 5 minutes. Humminbird acknowledges that the 1.83 update has flaws for certain models, been on the phone with them twice. Should have backed up the original version of the OS.
i’m not badmouthing hummingbird at all. I am buying more hummingbird. Just happens with updates sometimes. Better to be safe than sorry but better have a previous update in your folders or on a card in case you have problems updating. If you check the postings on bbc, lots of issues so pick your poison. The same goes for Lowrance on their last update. There are issues to some that update this fo around.Quote:
