    Do we need an app to open this upd file? or just drag it as is to the SD card?

    Luckily my ML running fine. Yes I might like to see if the update does reduce my occasional sonar interference not sure I want to risk the update yet.

    Going off the release notes I'm not holding my breath, but I'm really hoping this makes an improvement in the image.
    Just a little better bait tracking and return clarity and I'll gladly give more money to humminbird instead of another brand.

    This is not a zip file as they call it a patch and not an update so you would think it would be easier. Saying that I’ve tried twice and when it gets to 100% it then says failed

    It is a single file--.upd for SOLIX/APEX and .bin for Helix.
    It updates the LIVE transducer, nothing else so it doesn't need to be in a zip folder with other files. It is not a unit software patch.

    Part of the instructions is to have the latest unit software installed, and should have already been done.

    I have latest update and used a correct formatted card and still no go. It should be simple enough to download, drag to card and insert/load. I’ll try downloading again start from scratch

    It did the same thing to me on the last ML update and I just left it alone while I came back here to the forum to troubleshoot and walked back out to my boat and it had rebooted and was showing the correct version so don't know if it's a quirk with the update. ML worked fine OTW afterwards.

    I doubt it. According to HB is going to fix some bugs but nothing else.
    It seems there isn't too much room for improvement...

    Fran, Some of what you are calling “bug fixes” are going to make the Mega Live better. Sounds like improvements to me. In fact all updated software is supposed to make operation better otherwise what is an update or “patch” good for? Most of the descriptions address image issues. JMO Bob

    Well still a no go for me. I get a fail message then takes me back to the files page to install the update again. Very odd as I’ve never had an issue loading any updates on my solix units
