Lowrance Post-Update Fixers

 Updated 05/18/2018

We have received lots of emails and calls about data readouts and things missing (not on sonar display) after Lowrance software updates. This is only happening (?) on the touchscreen HDS and Elite Ti units. Below is fix-er-uppers for the issues we know about. Please be careful and back-up waypoints, routes and trails as needed. These fix-er-uppers are for the Lowrance touchscreen HDS and Elite Ti units ONLY.

Missing all waypoints, Readouts, etc. (make sure transducer is plugged into unit.)

Push these

Page >> Settings >>Restore Defaults.  Caution: Only have top 3 boxes checked. You will lose data by checking other boxes.  Turn off other units if on network. Than push OK. Unit may restart.
To Re add/add  Overlay readouts:  Push Power >>Edit Overlay >>Menu Than add or edit as needed. Don't forget to save.

Missing just Temperature readout on screen. (make sure transducer is plugged in to unit.)
If only dash marks for Temperature (- - -) show in screen. No Dash marks? Page up to Missing all.

Push these

HDS Gen-3 Update BOO BOO (sonar version omitted by mistake)

Just an FYI!  On the HDS Gen-3 update, the Sonar Version was omitted by mistake. This will not affect the performance of your sonar unit. It will read 0.0.0 on the About Page. Lowrance will fix this on the next Software update.
