    Upgrade HDS Gen3, is 18.2 good?

    I have an older version of software on my Gen3, is 18.2 good or bad? I haven't upgraded since the unit works good but it recently developed an issue with the clock so I thought maybe a software upgrade is in order but I also saw posts where people have issues. What do you think Good or Bad?

    I just used my new HDS 7 Gen 3 with 18.2 and it seemed to work fine. I have some fine tuning to do for views and stuff, but the charts and sonar worked fine. I never used the stock 3.5 and updated the software and did a hard reset before I took it on the water. It got about 7 hours worth of work this weekend.
