    the settings backup is basically useless. You’re better off doing it all manually.
    Since I turn off all Global settings and customize readouts for each view, saving settings saves me a lot of time re-doing them.

    Wayne, you are correct. Importing Menu Settings does nothing on my units. Reconfigured all my favorite screens manually. I have a pair of 12" Solix on console. I often Run SI Left on left unit, SI Right on right unit. So far so good. Both screens reconfigured as such and all global settings are turned off. Went through all menu settings and they function separately; color, sensitivity, chart speed... except range. When I change the range on either unit it changes the range on the other. Hadn't noticed this before. Is this right?

    That happens when you share a transducer.

    Go back through them after you restore settings. I think you’ll be surprised how many settings aren’t actually restored.

    I am aware of settings that do not restore, I have done it a few dozen times.

    I only had a few that did not restore. Mainly on any chart views the globals were back on
