Title: Interlink
Post by: Irishrover on March 25, 2012, 07:58:17 PM

My friend & I connected his Interlink to both of his units. We're about ready to power up both units...this is the question we have. He's connected his Interlink to a 788c & 788ci and they both have different software versions. Do both units need the same software before you start transferring info?

That all depends on which software each unit has in it Irishrover.  The ‘line’ is the 5.310 version software: both units need to be running a version of software (not necessarily the same version) lower than 5.310 or both units need to be running a version of software (again not necessarily the same version) higher than 5.310.

It would be best that he updates both to the current software off the Humminbird web site before powering on with the InterLink module.  He should also save the Nav Data (Waypoints, Tracks and Routes) off of each unit to his computer and than Delete the Nav Data from each unit before updating the software and only reinstall it after the InterLink is up and running.

Irish, you will have to register yourself (your unit) with HB to get the software.

Check the downloads section of the forum for software updates we have here..

Thanks Greg & Sonar, we did as you both advised. We both wanted to start up the Interlink correctly the 1st time so thanks for the help. Irish
