It took me a while to figure out how to turn off the text numbers on the left side of the screen. You have to use the sonar menu to turn them off. If I had not watched a U tube video on how to do this I would not have figured it out. Still it took me a while to get this figured out.
I pushed the boat out of the garage so that I could reach the control head and take out the old SDHC map and SDHC card for my waypoints etc and then put the current software back into default settings. I turn the unit off and installed the new SDHC card with the new software on it and turn the control head back on. I answered the two questions and went to get a cup of coffee and let the unit update itself. It took a few minutes to complete but all went well from what I can see for now. Man it's cold out there . My fingers were getting numb trying to go though the menus to figure out all the new things. I had to come back inside and warm up. And it's only 45 deg F out there. It feels better in the house where it's a nice balmy 76 deg F. LOL
