irishfield Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 (edited) Was browsing around different sites and noticed on the Lowrance site the ability to update data versions. Didn't think much of it the last time I saw it.. but this time I went out and checked my 112C and it was only on Version 1.8 (and I've had some issues with it)... Freeeeee update available for Version 2.4 There is also a beta only on Version 2.4.2.... to stop digital depth flashing (which I have a problem with some times) but gonna let them finish that one first before I try it. I downloaded to an SD card - 15 seconds.. went out and put the card in the Lowrance and it auto updates itself as soon as you turn it on. It added a few features it appears... one (at least that I never noticed before) is the ability to select shallow water / deep water / slow troll / fast troll / general fishing / clear water / fresh water / sea water. Looks like I now have to reset all my settings again though. Will see if it makes any difference tomorrow hunting 'skis. Not sure whom else has a 112C.... but I know Squid does. Peter.. do you have a reader to download it yourself, or do you want me to send you the card via mail ? ( and you can pass it on to the next guy or send it back to me) Wayne Link for downloads of all models http://www.lowrance.com/en/Downloads/Produ...ftware-Updates/ Edited November 1, 2008 by irishfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Clemens Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 I check their site periodically for updates for my H2O and LCX 28C HD units. Have installed a few updates over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucktail Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 My lowrance LMS 337 died 2 weeks ago and like a dolt I ddint back up my waypoints and lost most of them, Got a new unit from Lowrance in Missassuaga and its software has a few extra pages on it. Of course forgot to get an updated manual so now I am forced to learn it the old fashioned way. Thank god I never forget a spot..... just dont let my wife know that or she will nag....why do you need one!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted November 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 What a difference on the screen data after this software update. Incredibly clearer fish marking and "hooks" that I didn't get before. If you're unit is behind on software versions don't delay in updating !
