    Excellent Demo which is quite rare given the many clumsy attempts by others to explain any chart plotter operation. Good job and thank you

    I updated mine. Little tip for y’all. If you have IPhone, go into your settings……. Go to notifications….. select messages and turn off notifications…. Go back to phone notifications and turn them off also. That should take care of anyone calling or texting during the update

  • @melloreel
    @melloreel Před 2 lety +2

    Just an update to this! I just installed the software update on my new 94sv UHD, and it did not go as simple as his! 4 hours, 3 SD cards later I finally get it installed! Mine moved much slower than his, so as he said be patient. Each time mine got to 100% validation on the update, my unit would pause. I checked all the suggested items on screen, hence 3 SD cards, however I decided to try my iPad as opposed to the IPhone 8 Plus I was using. The update installed correctly that time! So just for anyone in the future if it pauses try a different device to download from. Hope this saves someone like me from going crazy in the future! JMO.

    Great video, I just bought a Garmin GPSMAP 743xsv. I am going to have it professionally flush mounted. I noticed that there is an SD card in one of the 2 slots which is in the rear of the unit. I am not sure what's on the card. Should I leave it in or take it out. I did install a blank card into the second slot, what should I do?

    I'd like to update the Garmin 8612's in my center console. I noticed the main unit already has a memory card in one of the 2 sd card slots on the back of it. I'm guessing this is perhaps my Navionics cartography chip. Do I ignore it & follow these steps, using the empty SD card slot next to it, or should I take a different approach? Thanks in advance for any helpful replies.👍
