Thread: Might as well ask the pros!

I have a Helix 7g2 Si/Di/GPS.
It does not have the HD transducer, and I have never run any type of map card in it. I bought it when it first came out. Well, I have never updated it, and I attempted it last night, as I was bored and wanted to be doing something fishing related. Matter of fact, I was working with it, instead of working on my message I preached this morning.
I followed the instructions. I restored, restarted, etc. It never even recognized that I placed the micro SD card in it. It was a little disappointing. WHAT HAVE I DONE WRON? I even tried updating the Helix 5 DI I have up front....no luck.
I've read about it having to be a specific type of SD card. I even tried the fishsmart app....I think we might be old enough it isnt recognized on bluetooth.

Just at a loss....frustrated, and figured someone here has had the same issue, and could shoot me in the right direction.

Yes, I do understand a person could purchase a much newer, larfree, more functions unit.....not an option for this poor preacher.

Help....whatcha got for advice!!!

Happy Resurrection Day, my friends.

Sometimes the old saying goes a long way. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. If your not having any issues with your electronics, and if you read what a update fixes and it irrelevant to you, why update? If your contemplating adding Humminbirds maps that are in some updates or maybe a 360 or mega 360. Update. Humminbird has put out a few updates that were alittle quirkie. Some for Garmin and Lowrance also. The updates would fix a particular issue but screw maybe something else up alittle. Crap happens sometimes. If you don’t think you need to update and it’s all working for you, don’t. I keep a,copy of every update I download even and if the update were to screw something up,then I can re install a previous update to unscrew a new update also if I didn’t like the way it affected my unit.
