HDS 4.0 Software
The 4.0 software update is available on the Lowrance website. It has some important fixes (lag/freeze) in it. I only got a chance to use it for a couple hours on Sat., but I already noticed a difference.

The downscan has been available for all the units, but I don't have the hardware for it. The upgrade does allow the 5 and 7s to split the screen 3 ways now though if you are set up for down and/or side scanning.

Has anyone has any problems performing the 4.0 software update on their HDS 5 ?
------------------------------------------------------------- I am familiar with the update procedure Video posted on the Lowrance website, and have used it to update my unit once before - but the 4.0 will not upload to my HDS 5 Nautic Insight. I downloaded the 4.0 software onto 2 separate SD Cards and tried both of them - no luck. Then I took both of the cards to Westmarine and tried doing the upload on 2 of their display units - still no luck. -None of the units I tried would display the prompts and walk me through the upload as it has done in the past. I'm wondering if Lowrance has a bad download posted on their website. Any ideas what is happening ? Billy
