I have updated now to the 5.7 software and everything went very smooth and works.  Just follow the directions.

This is why i say..."To update or Not to update"....Seems like a total crap shoot to me 50/50.....And well i never win in a 50/50.....So i wont update till the Long Island Sound is frozen and i can send my unit back to Humminbird if it gets messed up....Humminbird really needs to work these problems out.. These units aren't cheap we have all payed good money to Humminbird and deserve to have problem worry free updates....

I was/am in your shoes on updating the new updates.    I was very reserved on doing so but I saw enough folks on here that either work at Humminbird or know enough about the software or updates that I needed to go ahead and do so.  Make SURE you restore defaults before and after installing the new update.  Go to youtube...type in update himminbird software or something like so and get a step by step of doing so.  Good Luck..........

Ours works fine, I didn't find any problems with it, we don't use interlink or ethernet link with our systems.

ncsark9:
Do a short sonar recording and then try playing it back on the machine.
You might be unpleasantly surprised.
