Update software
Ú
Note: Remove any mapping cards from your unit and install a memory card with
sufficient storage before downloading software updates or creating and saving reports
to the memory card.
Ú
Note: Do not turn off the MFD or device until the update is completed or you are
prompted to restart the unit or device being updated.
Ú
Note: Ensure there is enough space on the storage device or internal memory for the
update file. To check how much free space is available, open the Files dialog from the
tool panel. Select My files or the storage device in the Files dialog and then select the
details option.
1. If your MFD is connected to the Internet, you can download the software update from the
Updates Dialog onto a storage device or internal memory. You can also download the
software update from www.simrad-yachting.com to a compatible storage device inserted
in a smart device or PC connected to the internet.
2. If the software update file is on a storage device, connect it to your unit. Otherwise skip
this step.
3. Select the item to be updated in the Updates Dialog and follow the prompts.
As you respond to the prompts the update occurs. Prompts may request that you restart the
device to complete the update. You can restart devices to complete the update later at a
more convenient time.
Backing up your system data
Waypoints, Routes, and Tracks that you create are filed in your system. It is recommended to
regularly copy these files and your system settings files as part of your back-up routine.
The files can be copied to a storage device connected to the unit.
There are no export file format options for the system settings file. The following output
formats are available for exporting Waypoints, Routes, and Tracks files:
• User Data File version 6
This is used to import and export waypoints, routes and colored Tracks.
• User Data File version 5
This is used to import and export waypoints and routes with a standardized universally
unique identifier (UUID), which is very reliable and easy to use. The data includes such
information as the time and date when a route was created.
• User Data File version 4
This is best used when transferring data from one system to another, since it contains all
the extra bits of information these systems store about items.
• User Data file version 3 (w/depth)
Should be used when transferring user data from one system to a legacy product
(Lowrance LMS, LCX)
• User data file version 2 (no depth)
Can be used when transferring user data from one system to a legacy product (Lowrance
LMS, LCX)
• GPX (GPS Exchange, no depth)
This is the format most used on the web that shares among most GPS systems in the
world. Use this format if you are taking data to a competitor's unit.
• Northstar.dat (no Tracks)
Used to transfer data to a legacy Northstar device.
