New to Lowrance. I see that there are updates for the Live and for AT2. Do I need to install the update for the unit before I install the one for AT2 or does it matter? Thanks!
I prefer to update the HDS first, and then the accessory boxes like AT. This video should help even though it is for the last update:Quote:

i updated my carbon, .37 affected Live, and AT1 last night and left them on for over an hour and it did not lose source. Previously it would have lost source within 20 minutes.Quote:

Marc,
Great video. I really appreciate your response. Thanks!
You are welcome! Happy to help my BBC friends!Quote:

Ok, sames as JustinP, no yellow wire issues - AT1 Module shuts down in sync with the HDS Live to which it's yellow wire is connected.
On the AT split screen, also same as I and others have posted, any split screen reduces the AT image area within the split to keep the resolution usable, ie not stretched out and distorted. Top/Bottom split will have most reduction, side by side has less but still has some reduction on top and bottom.
@Lexz521 - Not doubting you, but I think you might be the only user (at least on the board) that is not/was not experiencing this... would be interested in seeing a screenshot of your AT split after you revert back to previous version? Maybe something we all missed...
And the Elite FS units.Quote:

NoCAL
What about sharing Navioncs/C-Map cards?Quote:

i have a Cmap card in my carbon and the live has built in cmap. I can select to use the map card in the carbon on the Live but after a few minutes it’ll revert back to the preloaded charts. I read in the manual that the unit will select the source with the most detail If multiple options for the same brand are available.Quote:

The new color palettes are nice, I don’t think they made any thing better, fish still seem to pop out more on the blue color; but these new ones might be beneficial at some point. I’m not sure about the “better bottom definition” thing, but overall, it is a decent update. I updated through wifi and it took my graph a few times to take the new update.
can you put both updates on a sd card at the same time without it causing an issue? i always but one update on the card then come back later delete and install the other update. no big issue for me but my fishing partner lives up the road and i have to make two trips to his house.

The riw file for the AT update has to be manually done by going to settings, storage, left or right card slot (if using a hds unit) where card is installed with update file on it and pick install.
You can also do both manually if you choose, just go to settings and storage and so on like I mentioned. The main one for the unit itself is easier by letting it see it during boot up.
Thanks for these posts! Everything is updated via SD card. Looking forward to seeing my updated Lowrance Lives and AT1.
Would love to see a screenshot using the new blue!
Updated all my units and went smooth. No issues over wifi. My AT 1 works better than ever. More stable, crisper image. Love the new range and depth increment. Much eaier to follow my baits. Lowrance got it right, atleast for my set up, even with no SS3D upgrade. Im happy. For guys that are leary to update, don't be, you will love it!:thumb up2:

AT1 w/carbon. The AT2 might be better, maybe.

I think both of these colors look good. I really love the way the blue pops. Thanks very much for posting!
hopefully blue will be easier to see in the sun
Got out for a short time this afternoon just to get a look at the new update. I’d just changed over from a AT1 to a 2 when the update came out so I never got to use the 2 as it came. This is connected to a Carbon 12 unit.
It really seemed I could pick up my bait further out, 80 ft no problem to see. I do have my transducer set where I can see “ splash down”, but I was throwing a 6inch swim bait. I never noticed any stitching. Not saying there wasn’t any but don’t remember seeing any at all. All worked fine for about a hour and it froze. I let it sit there for a couple of minutes and it said no source. Again after maybe a minute or two I just set it to another page for maybe 30 seconds and went back to forward sonar. It started right back up and never acted up again although I only ran it about another 45 mins or so.
Planning on getting out tomorrow for the day and we’ll see how that goes.

That is the REAL question! This is a MAJOR issue! I have Wednesday off so I will install the new software on my 4 Lives and AT 1 and give it a go! Wish me luck....Quote:

My mistake, please ignore
I got out with this update Saturday. Worked fine for me on all 3 of my HDS Live's. The unit never froze or went to a black screen. Previously I'd get the black screen 3-5 times per day. So that issue appears to be fixed.
I'm kinda indifferent on the Blue Pallet. I thought I would love it. But currently I am using the Number 5 pallet with Noise Rejection off. That pallet does a great job with removing the noise for me. But the blue pallet shows it vividly with noise rejection off. With Noise rejection on medium or high it hides most of the noise. But then I feel like I am missing out of some detail I would have otherwise. So I'm still experimenting with the it.
No doubt though, the blue pallet helps tremendously in the sunlight. Pallet number 5 is a pain when its super bright.
using filters like noise rejection also filters out fish signals. I run my AT2 noise off at 93% sensitivity. No Issues. If you have noise its from an external source like SS or sonar, Stop Sonar on everything except AT and see how much it clears up. I never have noise rejection on any sonar, SS or AT its a due loop turn up the Noise Rej turn up the Contrast it never ends and when the NOise rejection is on no matter what your contrast is set at you won't see as many fish targets. A little noise from over sensitivity is far better than a clean screen. Don't make it pretty make it perform.Quote:

If I didn't want clutter (usually only when making a YouTube video) I stop sonar on all my transducers, especially SideScan and DownScan. Although this is a subject for a different thread, far too many judge their image quality by how little noise they see on their screen, and they treat the symptom with "noise rejection" rather than treating the cause of the noise.Quote:

Has the update fixed the Stop sonar option? First page or Programmable key ?
Nope.Quote:

I typically run Forward at 86%, I popped the filter on to see if any different, and it did clean it up some, but still was worse than the older ones. Maybe just too much debris in water column, I need to get somewhere deep and look at them again I think...
But otherwise, no issues with updates, other than still no Quick Button for AT :( and still no Orbit... but it's coming I guess.
What about map sharing or transducer sharing over ethernet? Are those issues solved? No one seems to have the answer to that but many, including me have the problem with the .37 software! So the question has the new update taken care of these network problems?Quote:
