    What are the "better 2D sonar contrast options" in the 1.640 update? Are there more menu controls, or just a different effect?

    Looks like a wider range of adjustment.

    Im trying to update my Helix 7 DI GPS G2. I have downloaded the update from Humminbird website on a Micro SD card. I insert the card into the unit and nothing? Am I supposed to open the BIN file first? Its a PDF file? Is this correct?

    It is a .bin file and your computer will not read it.
    You put the memory card in the unit AFTER it is fully operating in Normal or Simulator.

    Thanks Wayne. When I put the card in the unit does a quick flash but it doesn't ask me to do an update as stated on HBird website. I have vers. 1.540 and this is 1.640. I have even tried a different memory card. I did restore the defaults before putting in the card too

    I just updated both of my Helix units today. Have not been on the water since updating, but I was getting a bad right side of my SI on my G2N unit. Almost looked like a double echo from left side. I rechecked level of ducer and found that it was tilted a little to right. Sure hope the transducer and update fixes it.

    Found a bug in the 1.640 update, at least on my Helix 10 Gen1. In the sonar zoom screen, you can't turn off the RTS window even when it's set to OFF in the main sonar menu. Now the RTS window takes up valuable screen width that it didn't before.

    My Helix 7 doesn't recognize the update on my SD card when I put it in the unit. I downloaded the update to the computer then copied it to the card. The update window doesn't pop up when I put it in for some reason. 16gb card so shouldn't be too big. Any ideas?

    Did you put the card in the unit AFTER it was fully operating in either Normal or Simulator?

    What is the title of the update file?

    It was in normal mode and I'm now at work and don't remember the title. I believe it was something like Helix 7 1.6something software update. I think.

    Make sure you download the right software for your unit or the unit won't recognize it. With the new website construction, can be easy to click the wrong model. Example: Helix 7 CHIRP SI GPS G2N and Helix 7 CHIRP SI GPS G2 are two different update files. Version 1.64 was for the newer G2 and G2N models but the file sizes can be different for each model along with the file name.

    3.230 was released in May. Now says 7-16 release date 3.230rd

    I wonder if they are working on a new release and have the month wrong?

    I did an update today on my Helix 10 Mega si to the 1.640 version via the Humminbird FishSmart app and man, that was too easy. I liked it

    I read on FB that a man saw a HB engineer out testing a beta version for the digital depth issues yesterday. Keeping my fingers crossed. Mine occasionally jumps around.
