All updates ready for download 25.1 AT and MFDs read first on HDS Pro even if you don't have a Pro it covers all the MFDs that have AT 1 and 2

I’m all tingly with excitement! Someone be the lab rat and find the faults before the majority of us download.

[NoCAL]

Already downloaded. Unfortunately we are in the middle of a storm so I won't be installing until that passes. Funny, I've never had an issue and I'm always one of the first to install new updates.
For those running Structure3D there is also a 25.1 update available.

The active target performance improvements are fantastic!!! Way way better!!

I will update shortly and video the process both by using a microSD card and by using a USB drive.

Guess you gotta pay to play. I was waiting on this before deciding what to do with the 16 on the bow. Really didnt want to add another unit but may find a cheap 7 to use for mapping.

I did. I’m asking specifically about AT2 improvements. All I read is “Active Target Performance Improvements”. No details. Just wondering, hope it’s something noticeable and dependable

ActiveTarget Performance Improvements


Active Target has received a performance improvement via new signal processing methods and updated color palettes that better reveal the relative strength of sonar returns. This better helps visibility of fish and lure targets which are associated with structure such as brush piles or weed lines.


Updating your Active Target module and your Lowrance display is required in order to see the full affect of these updates

The Bob's bit is interesting, I always thought it was odd that Garmin and HB supported Bob's NMEA module and Lowrance did not. Glad to see they finally sorted that out, better late than never I guess. Too bad the Bob's module is so freaking expensive :(.

Still no word on Orbit it seems?
