just purchased a HDS 7 Gen2 with the LSS-1 structure scan. Got it all hooked up and fastened in and started reading the start up paperwork. The structure scan paperwork says my unit has to have a Application update that is at least a 2.5, Mine of course being brand new still has the 1.0. Followed the paperwork and went to Lowrance.com for the update. only problem is the only update they are showing for the Gen2 is 1.1, Gen1 has a 4.1 update. what update do i need to install to get my structure scan to be working?. Of course Tech support is closed today. Any help would be a great help…
You need the 4.1 update if you have any trouble downloading the update I already have it on a sd card. If you are ever in the prosperity area I could help you with the update.
I did some reading online and read that the gen2’s do not need the 2.5+ upgrade that they put that little yellow piece of paper in all the LSS-1 boxes because they use the same structure scan for the Gen1 and Gen2’s. A Gen2 1.1 is just as upgraded if not more than the 4.1Gen1. gonna call lowrance tomorrow and find out for sure exactly what i need to do. Plugged it all up today and it seems to work but really need to get into the water to find out for sure…
Should work fine. You’re bleeding edge on the Gen2, so there will probably be frequent code updates for awhile.
My mistake I missed that it was the gen2 that you purchased I was refering to the gen 1 upgrade
