Lowrance HDS. Software upgrades
Have had my Lowrace HDS gen2 for some years now. Are there software patches/upgrades that are worth doing for the type of fishing we do on Champlain ? Especially the cold water stuff. Tx
Re: Lowrance HDS. Software upgrades
What software are you running now. 6.0 is last update fore the Gen 2 touch.

It came with 2.1-45. Is it worth the effort to load the newest levels ?

Re: Lowrance HDS. Software upgrades
I was most interested in wether the software level I had would support lowrance’s autopilot. Their tech support responded in the affirmative so I might do it . Thx

Re: Lowrance HDS. Software upgrades
I run a Lowrance Autopilot ( cable steer) with a HDS gen 2 and it works fine. Just make sure you use the most up to date software on the MFD. Also, if you have Rack- type steering , you will have to change your steering cable as well.
It is a good investment if you troll solo very often.
