    Same here - I canceled my order and got a refund. Rethinking of what I want to do. I might have a brand new Helix 10 G3N for sale soon.

    The M360 was released by HB in mid December, it has not even been a month yet. But I may know someone interested in purchasing your used Helix G3N 10 if it's a mega di+ unit.

    Jay, I think we are all fully aware that you and several others have received your units that you pre purchased. If you read other people's experiences you will learn that they are back ordered for every one that didn't receive 1 in December. I didn't order mine until Jan. 7th. I was originally told they wouldn't ship it until the 15th of January. Then on the 9th was informed Humminbird is pushing their ready date until April. Several of our sponsors' websites say preorder. The truth is no one is going to purchase a Mega 360 today and receive it this month.

    I understand the waiting, and the demand is very high. My point was that they were released less than a month. The M360 I helped install yesterday was for a guy who got his unit from a small local marine shop in GA who does not offer pre-orders. Other people are posting as well. Recent Humminbird email messages floating around say they are still shipping (probably not in large quantities to any one retailer).

    Additionally, If Razor is serious about selling his unit, I know someone that may want it. He needs a Helix 10" G3N DI+ so he can add a mega 360 at the bow for side imaging (and 360).

    Go into your enhanced settings then down to contour mode and when it’s turned on, the water column is not showed. Turn the contour mode off and you will see the water column.

    Don’t do the latest up grade or you’ll loose the enhanced page.

    Cold water is denser and prevents electricity from flowing across wet switches to turn on the Mega 360. As we test it, Humminbird is sending out upgrades to ease the operation of the wet switches. The Mega 360 was originally tested in warmer waters of the south.

    Can you do these M360 updates with the boat on the trailer and the M360 stowed? I rigged mine yesterday and got the “not fully retracted “ message. Got the out of water message too, but got that to go away with a bucket of water.

    I have the update loading now without the M360 wet.

    After it finished, I turned the M360 power off and it stated MEGA 360 Not Detected, so I guess it loaded.

    Yep, turn it on and your helix or Solix and follow instructions. No need to worry about the irrelevant messages that pop up when it’s retracted or out of the water to update. Then you can check by scrolling to the page that show where everything is “connected” and look at Mega 360 and it will show the version 1.07

    That is another thing I was curious about. I didn’t know where to find the s/w version of the m360. Thanks cevans & Wayne!

    I think I loaded 1.06 yesterday not knowing HB released 1.07 three days ago.
