Thread: Lowramce update 4.0

I just repeated the directions on the box.

Mine took about 10 minutes or so to completely install. It shuts off after download, then reboots and installs the program. Just like a windows update and a restart.

You can go to the system settings scroll to ABOUT and see what version you have. Settings-System-About

I checked that, it shows sonar version 1.4.3 and at the top of the about screen it shows HDS-7T v3.0 which I think is the version I have. Wondering if I should try downloading the update from Lowrance again in case I got some corrupted data the first time. That make sense??

Wouldn't hurt I don't guess, but it is a zip file. What is the name of the UPD file you downloaded? Should be: HDS_Gen2_Touch-4.0-51.1.69-st (130,734 KB)

I am sitting here playing with my unit. I ain't smart enough to know this stuff from memory.

Yea that worked. There exists two possibilities: 1. the 1st download was corrupted or 2. I may have downloaded the standard HDS and not the HDS touch upgrade.
In any event it is working now. Thanks for walking me through this. Now to get familiar with the changes.

Musta been a corrupt file.

mine is a new unit and it updated automatically when I inserted the sd chip and turned the unit on. it should not require your involvement. I assume you downloaded from the Lowrance site.
