New update for Helix 10 3/22/17

[Wyo307]

There is a new update for the Helix 10s I am assuming for the 9s and 12s as well. It is version 1.400 released yesterday (3/22/17). Just thought I'd let everyone know since I haven't seen an email come through from them for it yet.

Just updated three weeks ago when I put the new Ulterra on, time to do it again. I haven't seen an email through my "My Humminbird" account on this new update either.

Key Features:

This software update will now allow you to change the transparency settings when overlaying layers – such as topographic and aerial views - available on select lakes from Humminbird LakeMaster and ChartSelect.

For example, let’s say you want to view the aerial view of a lake along with the depth contour lines. You will now be able to make the overlay – in this case contours – varying degrees of transparency so that you can see docks coming out onto the water via the aerial map layer.

Previously, this was only available for AutoChart layers. Now, it can be used for a number of layers, making ChartSelect and LakeMaster layers more valuable in your search for fish.

Other Updates and Fixes:

· Users can now write to Navionics cards. This includes Snapshots and Recordings

· Fixed issue where MEGA transducer would continue to ping when nothing is subscribed to it

· Fixed issue that prevented the Noise Filter option from appearing when the connected transducer was set to HDSI

· Fixed issue that caused LakeMaster and AutoChart Live maps to not draw correctly when in over zoom

· Fixed issue where the base map water color will be drawn white when background is set to black

· Fixed an issue where the COG/SOG text was not being clipped on the chart preview inside waypoint management

· Fixed an issue where the + and – buttons are not behaving the same on the fish finder as they are on the i-Pilot BT remote when adjusting speed while in High Speed Bypass mode.

· Fixed an issue where the Ulterra i-Pilot motors would not trim down all of the way.

· Fixed an issue where Circle Mode offset was not working if it was changed by any unit on the network, other than the one that initiated Circle Mode

· Fixed an issue where pressing Go-To twice, without an active cursor, would initiate navigation to the last created waypoint

· Fixed an issue when navigating from a Spot Lock, to a waypoint, and then to route that would prevent the user from canceling navigation

· Fixed an issue with LakeMaster lake names that would truncate the name of the lake after an apostrophe

· Fixed a ChartSelect layer naming issue when in Asian mode

· Fixed issue where the temperature readout on the Ice Flasher View was not responding to temperature unit changes

· Removed ‘Mark at Vessel’ on Chart and Sonar views when there is an active cursor and i-Pilot is not connected

· Fixed issue where the Custom option under Chart Detail Level was not populating on the base map

· Fixed an issue where opening the Radar X-Press menu in Simulation mode was causing the unit to crash

· Fixed an issue where the DI/SI Combo View and the 2D/DI/SI Combo View were missing in POS and Simulation mode on G1 HELIX SI models

I was told, by the Humminbird Rep at the Northwest Sport Show on Friday, to Not load 1.400 at this time. He had received a report of the new upgrade deleting all a clients way points.

I do not own one but plan on ordering one this week. I am very wary of updates, I'd wait a bit, have had bad experiences with another brand, the L brand on updates. in other words if it works fine for you? leave it alone.
