Can you put together some comparison shots in a side-by-side post of 6.740 and an earlier version ...??

I know you have some shots of those same stakebeds from an earlier version...

I like the images from today i.e 76 degrees. The one taken when the water was 46 degrees doesn't seem as "crisp". The ones from yesterday seem a little "hot" with the gains.

I'm having a hard time seeing pixilation on the 2d, maybe someone can share insight. The pixilation that I saw and complained about earlier this year were very "boxy blobs".

When you upgrade your software do you have to do anything as far as saving your waypoints?

While it's not part of the "official" procedure...it's always a good idea to back up your waypoints onto a SD Card just in case something goes awry in the update process...

If the unit locks up during the update and you have to send the unit to Eufala ...you may never see your waypoints again...

stymie,i only notice the pixalation in water less than 15 ft.i agree with you that the picture in 76°water looks better.imo 6.740 is the best software to use.with the 360 or without

Yeah, I took the plunge and downloaded 6.74 and have the 2d pixilation issue. Can't get out there on the water this weekend, and was hoping to play around with the 2d settings a bit and see what's up with that.

The SI is pretty good so far as long as your chart speed is up around 3-5. On 1, you get the left/right dance where one side advances a click and then the other. Can be annoying, but the imaging seems pretty nice!

Verdict is still out on DI as I had the Sharpness turned on trying to see if that vertical white line deal from the past would come back. So far on mine, it hasn't been an issue but having that sharpness on has kept me from really evaluating DI.

The bow 360 is currently on my Christmas list. I'm hoping I can modify it somehow to work with my Terrova.

Im skeerd to update . I'd hate to lock my unit up . But on the other hand I'd love to be able to see some images as good as those. Great post kosmo. Thanks

i don't see were modifing the 360 to fit any trolling motor should be an issue. All that the trolling motor is used for is a mounting apparatus.rickies, duducer thingy would be an ideal alternative to the trolling motor.

Newest 6.74 install. Awful.
