New software update for HDS Gen1 units!

[Wallyandre (Andre)]

Software release for Generation 1 HDS® version 4.1
Lowrance has released a new version of software for the first generation of HDS multifunction displays (not HDS Gen2). This new software version (HDS 4.1) includes changes to sonar performance, charting enhancements and more.

Items addressed with this new release include:

1) Sonar Performance – Improvements include better bottom tracking at high speeds; enhanced deep-water depth tracking (greater than 1,000 feet); and shortened lock-on time for trolling-motor-mounted transducers

2) Charting Enhancements – Quick-access mapping selection is now available with Lowrance/Navionics chart toggle under Chart Options, as well as the soft-keys featured on HDS-8 and HDS-10. Also, users can now display Point Of Interest information supplied by the Navionics User Community.

3) Fixes – Updates include distance measurement between vessel and active cursor as vessel moves; altitude overlay for altitudes greater than 9,999 feet; and EP-60R fuel-flow sensor corrections.
