I think Garmin released the update last week so current Livescopers would have a picture and new options (Ghost Reject "Auto" and Color Gain Limit) to be very similar to the new LSV 34. But it appears they may need to do more testing and release another update to correct problems created by last weeks update. Color Gain Limit option is applied to chart plotter with update and Ghost Reject "Auto" is applied to GLS 10 update.
To update only the chart plotter you must use SD card and turn off GLS 10 or unplug ethernet cable. Remove SD card before turning GLS 10 back on. Will not work if you update through Active Captain because after turning on GLS 10 the update will then go to it.
I plan to wait and let all this play out before I do any updating with latest software version. Happy with my six month old Livescope and do not plan to spend another $1200 for limited upgrade quality. Expect many Youtube videos to be out soon with comparsions to enable making an update or purchase choice.
