    Default Coincident or intentional ?????


    I got an LX25 lowrance GPS/Depth unit ......
    Is seven years old ....
    Antenna went out = bought new antenna and had to upgrade software = everything went good.
    Now, when I took it out yesterday, the GPS works great, however, now the depth finder/fish finder
    is crapped out (ain't never had a problem with it) ! !
    I'm just wondering if the new software had an intentional bug in it to mess up my depth finder .......
    Any ideas appreciated .................

    If I uninstall the update then the Gps (upgraded antenna) won't work ...... (so I'm told).
    I'd rather have the GPS than the depth finder, etc .........

    I seriously doubt Lowrance would put a "bug" in the software, to "crap out" your depthfinder. Too many people out there that can hack the software file & find that "bug" ... and then Lowrance's reputation would be "crapped out".

    I'd be talking to someone at Lowrance, to see if there's a potential for the update to override any functioning of the depthfinder .. or if there's a simple fix ... or even if they've ever heard of this happening to anyone else's LX25, after the software update.
