Location: north central wisconsin | If your dad is not having trouble with the unit, I would not update the software on it. The lcx 38 is new enough that it should read most cards. However, unless it is a lakemaster, you will need to find your map type in addition to region of choice in the map data page. That said, lots of us updated to the newest software for lcx 25/lcx 111 units over the years, only to find the sonar readings in shallow water were better with the older software. I don't beleive that to be the case with the 38, but use a software that your unit runs well with and keep it. The nice feature with Lowrance and their customer support, is the ability to go back to an older software if you choose to. In addition to the assistance offered by the helpful folks here, I'd recomend talking with Linda Colt at LEI/Navico, for any further software issues you may have. She has the software issues for lcx units dialed.
