Regret updating to 2.280

[Wayne P.]

Yep, I checked the FishSmart app and it showed my unit is updated to 2.280. I did read the directions that basemap 1.031 can not be updated through the app the HB website. So i did the 2.280 and basemap update through sd card. It read the 2.280 update just fine and installed it. The HB directions said it would automatically ask if I was to update basemap to 1.031 after the 2.280 update, but it never did.

I installed the 2.280 software in several units.
The basemap file for the Helix 7 is 1.6GB and was no problem to download and install.
The base map for the 9, 10, 12 is over 5GB and I could not download it with my internet connection it would time out at 3.5 GB.
Robert put it on Google Drive and that worked so I have installed the basemap in a couple of units with no issue. Still have the files on a memory card to do other units.

Yeah, it was like 5.4 GB. I have fast internet so it didn't take much time. It didn't time out or anything. I was able to download it one our MAC and Windows and extract the files. I am willing to try anything at this point. Anyway to get access to the google drive?
