Location: MPLS Metro | The updates make a huge difference, especially with the map chip reading function. I would recommend uploading the update. They DO NOT come with the updates installed.Just go to the lowrance site, click on the update link and choose elite 7 hdi. Download the update to your computer, extract it from the zip file and put it on a micro sd card. Put the sd card in ypur unit and turn it on. It finds it and uploads it automatically. I use hot maps on mine but before I updated it they wouldnt work right or at all. I will tell you that I run the lowrance maps on my councel because the prossesor of the unit doesnt quite keep up on the map advance whe running 55mph, then when I am trolling I will switch it to the navionics chip. |
