Lowrance Update 25.1 Video and Description of Features

[Moonlighter]

Anyone that is running a TM150M or B150M done this upload yet, and then tested to see if the transducer works properly in Medium Chirp frequency?

[Basshopper]

Since its not in the notes not fixed

I run a TM150M and will be out on the lake tomorrow. I will let you know.

Marc also please check if you still have Water Temp available from SS3D Transducer? Mine went away, not sure if just a glitch or actual update issue... thanks

There is a possibility that you see some improvements:

• Sonar improvements when using Airmar Medium Chirp transducers

Did you try and add it in EDIT OVERLAYS?

Thanks Marc!

I went on the water today and checked it out; you will like the results:

All 3 of mine have the udpating message persisting on subsequent bootups, but is has been reported it goes away eventually (Marc C.).

I did loose my SS3D temp source when I updated SS3D module - have you updated a SS3D Module yet? I reverted to 18.3 and it came back, so am still sticking on v18.3 for now.

I don't normally use the temp sensor on my SS3D, but I tried it today just for your info. I am pleased to say that the temp sensor on SS3D does work after updating to 25.1. You can also see the clarity of my 3DSS in this video (although the lake is a natural glacial carved lake so the bottom is basically a bathtub so not a good example to show the clarity).

[Marc Marcantonio]

I guess the real question is will it work with Onboard CMap, or does it require a paid card/subscription.

I couldn't figure how to use the Depth Routing with the onboard CMap. Maybe someone can enlighten me on this one?

[Marc Marcantonio]

BTW, the improvement to Active Target Scout mode look fantastic. I could find every trout in the lake. Didn't notice as big a change on my AT2 in Forward View, but bass are hard to see anyway now as they are deep and belly to the bottom.

Thanks Marc - no idea why mine disappeared then. I'll try loading it again again and see if any change.

Thanks Marc, looks good.

Did you happen see how it looks at speed, on the plane?

The issue with M Chirp on TM150m was that at almost any speed other than drifting or idling, the image turned dark blue and lost all definition (thats the best way I can describe it). Was un-useable. Changing to a custom frequency and all returned to normal.

I will upload 25.1 to my Elite FS9 and report back the results, but from your video it looks promising.

Did you try and add it in EDIT OVERLAYS?

read this a few times, finally realized it might have been meant for me?

Anyway, if so yes, the temp source of the SS3D transducer disapeared from the overlays menu list, and also was not shown in data sources after the update. So my existing water temp overlay just displayed dashes since it could not find the overlay/sensor data anymore.

Marc C noted that his did work however, so I will reload the update onto the module and try again, maybe it was just a fluke, or sun spots, or drones, etc lol...

BTW, Marc I know you are probably getting bombarded with questions, but if you could do a video on the water with AT2 Scout mode improvements when you get a change, it would be very appreciated :).

After the update and hard reset, in saving all the pages again to then save them as a clean setting on an SD, I was wondering, is it important to do it with the boat in the water to be able to save the 2 transducers that are installed, one in channel 1 and the other in channel 2, or can I do this operation with the boat dry and put the HDS in simulation mode and proceed to save the 2 transducers, always if in simulation the data entered remain stored.
Another thing, for the GPS antenna "Point-1" I have to recalibrate again right?

You can do it dry, and not in simulation mode; just hit stop sonar on each transducer. You do not have to recalibrate your Point-1 or Ghost if you have one. Follow my YouTube video on how to do a hard reset.

Bombarded is putting it mildly...but hey, if it helps others out I am willing to do so. What I don't get is that although my videos on 25.1 have gone viral, very few people have hit the "like" button, and fewer have subscribed. I simply don't understand how people can take the time to get the help they need but can't take one second to hit the "like" button to help me keep putting in this work. Many of the questions are also answered in the videos, so some apparently didn't watch the video before asking questions. I lost a lot of fishing time and home time editing videos, so there is a lot of work involved, including answering questions. Thankfully people like you and some other BBCers show some appreciation, and I appreciate you!

But yes, next week I will video some AT footage, especially Scout mode as that is very impressive with this update.

Marc, while watching your video, and looking at side scan, there is pixilation on the left side. What causes this? I get it every once in a while.
