Hi All,

I will go into the settings once on the water again to check what may have happened. Generally speaking once I have the unit set to what works for me and what I need to do I leave it alone. Once in a while under special circumstances-rare though-I do change settings then set them back the way they were.

- As to chart updates/firmware update I have done nothing since an "upgrade" quite a while ago that gave me DI-Down Imaging. H-Birds in the past, perhaps now still, had a nasty habit of bricking on you when an update was tried. Bricked means send it back to the factory for a factory re-set. Not sure that is still the case but it was enough for me to leave it alone unless I had a good reason to update the SW;

- As to Depth read-outs the chart provides depths that appear on the actual chart itself; the Transducer creates actual real-time depths that appears at the bottom of the screen under the boat regardless of whether I have a chart card inserted or not.

Thanks.
