HB owners...Don't get antsy and update to 6.600 yet...

[rnvinc]

I posted yesterday that HB was supposed to be sending out an update to fix the issues people were experiencing with the 6.570 version....

The 6.600 is out..... but reports are not favorable as of yet...

I know it's very exciting to think "I gotta have the latest greatest" and update as fast as these updates come out....but seriously....

Most updates do not have enough benefit that it can't wait for a few days ....

Patience...watch the forums for a few days and see if others are having issues...

I promise you there will always be some others willing to stick their neck out ...

Or maybe the correct statement would be...

"There's always some that are willing to sacrifice their unit..."

From Wayne P. at bbc yesterday...:

"I give it a failing grade as the processing is still screwed up.

This is what I see.
I have one unit with 6.490 and one unit with 6.600 running beside each other.
With Simulator at the screen scroll speed setting of 5 on both, the swimming pool is the same size on the displays- I paused the screens and measured the pool length. BUT with the 6.600 at the scroll speed of 10 it is just like it was with the 6.570- an Olympic size instead of a private pool size.
To make it even more laughable, at a screen scroll speed of 1, the pool is the size of a kid's pool.

With the 6.490, the pool doesn't change sizes no matter what the scroll speed is and it shouldn't. The screen scroll speed on a recording playback should only affect how fast subjects pass across the display.

Additionally during playback the two sides of SI don't move together. they sort of alternate advancing on the display very obviously."

It's 7:30 and I'm done tracking this for tonight...

The forums are lit up with complaints about this 6.60...

I still suggest HB owners wait until this gets worked out before updating...(especially if you don't have the 360 or the AS GPS HS antenna)..

My 6.310 version works just fine...

Thanks for the update!!!

Update is fine! Nothing to see here.

I had a little issue with a missing menu item, but was able to get it back. Scroll speed is cool. This update is safe.

I used 6.60 on the water yesterday no problems. The Side Imaging ran smooth and even.

These results from "on the water" users are very encouraging ...

I hope to get my antenna out for testing this weekend...

I had a new anomaly pop up on Sunday. Whenever I put DI Enhance Sharpness to Low, my DI screen fills up with whitish lines. I'll check it out a little more on Saturday.

I still show occasional slight speed differences between the unit with the new GPS puck and my ipilot remote.

Stymie... I probably wouldn't worry too much about the speed discrepancy between the unit GPS and the iPilot remote...(unless it's a very big difference)....

I'm just guessing ....but this could possibly happen depending on which exact satellites were actually tracking each separate device....

Dang military restrictions ....
