HELP!!!! 1198 Problem
« on: March 24, 2012, 07:59:37 PM »
Guys...I need some direction from someone.

I downloaded the latest 6.1 for my 1198 several weeks ago when it came out.  Everything has worked ok until today.  My GPS and sonar still works but my Weather Sense and XM WEather shows "unconnected".....but then my unit will tell me that XM weather working then not working.    Like I said...it is almost like my unit doesn't recognize that my Weather sense and XM Weather is even hooked up and it is.  It worked this morning.  My unit also cut off on me two times today. 

Do I need to re-installed the 6.1 or go back to the 5.8 or whatever the last update was before this one. 

I need help....please.

Well...for some  UNKNOWN REASON....mine is back working.  I took apart all of my wires...made sure connections are good....the battery in my Weather Sense was bad so maybe that did something.  We shall see tomorrow.  Thanks for the reply.

You have to pry the back off which is water sealed....very easy.  Takes a battery about the size of a nickle or quarter.

Would it be advisted to re-download my 5.7 to my 1198 and wait until the bugs are worked out on the new 6.1 software update ?   If so,,,,,   I restore defauls, place my S D card in the unit, unit will see the 5.7 and it will ask If I want to update to that software...I say yes, then once the .57 is on unit, resort defaults agin and it should be fine....??????

calli1, Going back and reloading the older update that worked after changing the batt in the WX Sense is a good start.

there has been a rash of trouble with the latest update HB software.
