FREE SOFTWARE UPDATE ALLOWS CHIRP CAPABILITY ON HUMMINBIRD ONIX UNITS
 FTR Staff  March 2, 2016  Equipment News

EUFAULA, AL – Humminbird® is proud to announce Version 2.700 Software, a free download through the Humminbird Select Program that brings ONIX users CHIRP 2D SONAR functionality and more. The free software update allows existing ONIX units and transducers to use CHIRP technology.

With no additional hardware purchase or change in installation, ONIX units are now even more potent, bringing anglers better target separation and greater image clarity.

But the increased capabilities in the software update don’t end with CHIRP. For example, version 2.700 software also brings Depth Contour Labels to the AutoChart™ Live feature that reveal numerical depth data for easier navigation and fishing. Other upgrades include:

2D CHIRP SONAR
Added Sonar Auto Detect On/Off options
2D Sonar Digital Depth tracking improvements
Depth Contour Labels on AutoChart Live
Depth Contour Labels on metric Lakemaster chart data
Dynamic labels on Autochart Live colorbar
Navionics performance upgrades
Increased boat icon and chart performance at low speeds
THS NMEA 0183 sentence support
“Minimize Clusters” Waypoint Clustering option

The Software Update Process

To begin the update process, users should first verify they have registered their product in the free Humminbird Select Program and have previously updated to the most current software previous to Version 2.700.
Following product registration, users should download the software to their computer. Once successfully downloaded onto your PC, unzip the files on your computer before copying them to a blank 4 GB or greater Class 6 SD card. Do not rename files.

Once the files have been saved to the blank SD card, eject the card from your computer or external card reader and insert into your Humminbird ONIX unit. Please note that during the update process it is critical that you maintain continual power to your unit.

Once the installation is completed, power down the unit and restart to begin using your ONIX with newly-expanded functionality.
