Software update question with Ipilot link
« on: September 27, 2013, 07:54:59 PM »
OK I'm confused.  I decided to update my software and I came across this little tidbit from the HB site regarding the ipilot link...    "You must RESTORE the defaults on your unit BEFORE you perform any software update and we suggest that you disconnect any advanced accessories from the unit (i.e. Weathersense, Interlink, Cannonlink, etc) before going any further. The exceptions to this would be if you have the Minn Kota i-Pilot Link or the Humminbird 360 Imaging attached. Both of these items need to remain connected to the unit in order to update their software which is done via the units Ethernet system.

before, I just updated my unit at the house, but this update has stuff that fixes ipilot link issues.  Should I wait until the unit is on the boat with the trolling motor deployed before I can update?  Or can I update at the house and then take the unit to the boat and it update whenever the two talk to each other?

Nevermind, I decided to try it with t/m deployed.  everything seemed to go just fine, no issues.  I got to watch a spotted bass streak up to my bait, and knew I had it before I felt it.  I did notice my Ipilot link was much more controlled and behaved itself in a little bit of wind.   Much fewer erratic overcorrections.  Couldn't tell any difference in the HB unit, but didn't have problems there anyway.
